A major AI training data set contains millions of examples of personal data

Indeed, the curators of DataComp CommonPool were themselves aware it was likely that PII would appear in the data set and did take some measures to preserve privacy, including automatically detecting and blurring faces. But in their limited data set, Hong’s team found and validated over 800 faces that the algorithm had missed, and they estimated that overall, the algorithm had missed 102 million faces in the entire data set. On the other hand, they did not apply filters that could have recognize

Lisp-stat: Lisp environment for statistical computing

Lisp-Stat is conceptually similar to R and will be familiar to most people from that ecosystem. It is suitable for both exploratory data analysis as well as front-line production deployments. Common Lisp is currently used at Google in several high-availability, high-volume transactional systems. Why Lisp? We had a few requirements when evaluating options. Specifically the system had to: Work well in the kind of exploratory environment conducive to analytics and AI Be robust enough to work in
