Many systems rely on precise and consistent timekeeping for coordination, logging, security, and distributed operations. Even a one-second discrepancy can cause failures in time-sensitive processes such as financial transactions, database replication, and scheduled tasks. For systems that require strict synchronization—like distributed databases, telemetry pipelines, or event-driven architectures—handling leap seconds incorrectly can lead to data loss, duplication, or inconsistencies. As such, managing leap seconds accurately ensures system reliability and consistency across environments that depend on high-precision time.

For those unfamiliar with the concept leap seconds are periodic adjustments added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to account for irregularities in Earth’s rotation, ensuring that atomic time remains synchronized with astronomical time. While necessary for precise timekeeping, these adjustments can pose challenges for systems requiring high-precision synchronization, such as those utilizing the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). PTP is designed to synchronize clocks within a network to sub-microsecond accuracy, making the handling of leap seconds particularly critical.​

Traditional methods of handling leap seconds, such as smearing—where the extra second is spread over a period to minimize disruption—are often employed in Network Time Protocol (NTP) systems. However, applying similar techniques in PTP systems is problematic due to their higher precision requirements. Even minimal adjustments can lead to synchronization errors, violating the stringent accuracy standards PTP aims to maintain.

To address this, Meta has developed an algorithmic approach that is integrated into their PTP service. This method involves a self-smearing technique implemented through the fbclock library, which provides a “Window of Uncertainty” (WOU) by returning a tuple of time values representing the earliest and latest possible nanosecond timestamps. During a leap-second event, the library adjusts these values by shifting time by one nanosecond every 62.5 microseconds. This stateless and reproducible approach allows systems to handle leap seconds automatically without manual intervention. ​

This self-smearing strategy offers several benefits, including seamless handling of leap seconds and maintaining the high precision required by PTP systems. However, it also introduces trade-offs. For instance, discrepancies can arise when integrating with systems that use different smearing methods, such as NTP’s quadratic smearing, potentially leading to synchronization issues during the smearing period.

Managing leap seconds in high-precision environments like those utilizing PTP requires innovative solutions to maintain synchronization accuracy. Meta’s algorithmic approach exemplifies how tailored strategies can effectively address the challenges posed by leap seconds, ensuring the reliability and precision of time-sensitive systems.

Podcast: Adam Sandman on Generative AI and the Future of Software Testing

MMS Founder
MMS Adam Sandman

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Transcript

Shane Hastie: Good day, folks. This is Shane Hastie for the Intro to Engineering Culture Podcast. Today, I’m sitting down with Adam Sandman. Adam, welcome back.

Adam Sandman: Thank you very much, Shane.

What’s changed around software testing trends over the last two years? [00:16]

Shane Hastie: It’s a couple of years since we had you on talking about quality and testing and the trends at that stage was generative AI was brand new and we were talking about what’s the implication of that got to be in testing? Well, we’re two years down the stream. What’s changed?

Adam Sandman: Well, I think we’ve seen I guess the power of generative AI and I think we’ve also seen some of maybe the limits and constraints. We’ve also seen AI evolve in ways that maybe we didn’t expect. I think two years ago, we saw a large amount of excitement around the ability to generate things, generate content, whether that’s code, whether that was blogs, whether it was documentation, or things that really I think have improved the productivity of software. I’m going to say software engineering or software production. Some of it’s the coding, some of it was the documentation, but I think we’ve also seen some new use cases come along which people didn’t expect around the new agentic AI as the new buzzword of the day.

But the ability for the AI to actually start to operate applications and provide qualitative feedback on things it was seeing using vision. Those are things that I don’t think were necessary forecasts from a large language model. We assumed it was more generation as opposed to more insight. I also felt like we might be further along in some ways in content generation than we have done and I think the additional use cases that everyone gravitated towards chatbots and coding assistants and blog writing haven’t evolved massively in two years. It’s been the same. It’s been more wrappers around the more functionality to make it more usable, maybe make it more convenient for people. People I think have been trying to map human and computers together.

So, in the non-development world, whereas people thought we just have machines would write everything, people will now have services where it’s a human and a computer doing it together with feedback around. So, I think what’s changed I think is that we understand better how AI can help us, but we’re also finding new ways to use AI that weren’t predicted. The other thing I think that’s very interesting is the cost. Scaling is very different than I think we thought. We assumed that the primary use case would be generation of content, which a large language model does quite inexpensively once it’s expensively trained and built.

We’re now seeing use cases around what’s called chain of thought and workflows where the inference that computing power and the ability to run through, actually query the model in these different ways is incredibly expensive. So, we’re starting to see the limits and costs on some of these ideas that people have. So, in some cases, we’ll talk about testing. Some of these LLMs have used for testing in certain ways can be more expensive than a human tester right now, which I didn’t think I would’ve thought two years ago.

Shane Hastie: So let’s dig into the testing because that’s the field that you are an expert in.

Adam Sandman: Thank you.

Shane Hastie: How is the generative AI, the large language models, how are they supporting testing today and what’s the implication of that on testing your software products?

Generative AI’s Role in Software Testing [03:11]

Adam Sandman: Right. I’d say we believe testing is a function of quality and I think testing is activity quality should be the outcome. So, that’s my little soap box. I just want to mention that and I know you have InfoQ. I think Q for quality always. I think what it’s being used today for testing is first of all the developer level, a lot of developers I know are using AI to generate things that they don’t like doing. So, for example, unit tests. We know that unit tests are horrible. I am a developer by trade. I used to write code in C# and Java and still do. I may be the CEO, but when they’re not looking, I still dabble in the code and have fun with it. But I hate writing unit tests. Everyone does and we know it’s really powerful.

We know if you look at the testing pyramid, it’s the classic best way to get coverage cheaply and reliably with the lowest maintenance and yet we still do a horrible job of it. So, a lot of our clients use AI to do a lot of the hard work of unit testing, particularly input parameter variations. If I want to test this function with 1,000 different parameter combinations, that’s a horrible human task. Developers hate that. It’s the most boring programming work. AI is good at that. So, I think that use case has been well and truly not to say solved, but improved with use of AI and Copilots and various other systems like that. Other things we’ve found to be very good at are test data generation.

If you need synthetic test data, generating 1,000 phone numbers or usernames and you can tell it, “I want these to have these boundary conditions, make them very long, make them very short, but dollar signs for special characters, whatever,” it’s good for that use case as well. It’s also good for some of the project management testing side of things. So, we’ve seen a lot of success. I’ve got a user story using it to give feedback on that user story. I see the word “it”, is in it lots of times. What is it? Is it the customer? Is it the screen? Making the requirement of the story better, less mistakes and interpretation by the different people and that improves quality, and then also things like generating test cases, generating test steps, generating automation scripts.

Now we start to get I think where some of the industry is moving in is using it to improve some of the UI testing and API testing. Particularly the UI testing that’s always been in the testing world the hardest part to do well. Automated tests at the UI are always disliked because they break very easily. The developers want to have the freedom to change the application that the business users certainly want the freedom to be able to improve the user experience. You can destroy your entire test suite in a quarter or in a month very, very easily by making large scale changes for good reasons, good business reasons at least. So, AI is helping in some of those cases to make the test more resilient.

It’s starting to be able to help all testers take natural language tests and turn it into automation. We’re heading in that direction where in theory, depending on who you ask and what kind of application, we might be able to have the AI do some of the testing for you where it can look at an application and begin to interpret the business scenario and interact with it like a human could to some degree. Certainly, some of the models now with their vision capabilities can actually see the application and give you real-time early qualitative feedback. This button is off the screen, this button is a rounded shape. The requirements says it should be, I don’t know, square or three-dimensional, whatever it is, those are things that we normally would’ve missed in automated testing.

A human tester might not have enough time to capture those. A good exploratory tester might catch them. So, AI is able to do some of those tasks. Now, things that developers don’t like doing, things that testers traditionally didn’t like doing as much. So, in theory, that’s a good thing if we use that as well as what we do. But if we replace everything with that, the danger is we may miss things. So, that’s what we’re seeing in some of the AI use cases at least.

Shane Hastie: So the term I’ve been using a lot is that these tools accelerate us, but we’re certainly not saying get rid of the human in the loop.

Adam Sandman: No. In fact, AI is not just building the software from spec. It’s also depending on the application you’re looking at, it may be building the software from its own learning. So, for example, core set of software right now is scanning human conversations with human customers and using it to improve the workflow to provide feedback. Those applications that self-driving cars as people are probably familiar with, those cars learn by traveling roads, learning road signs. We didn’t write requirements. We didn’t in some ways write code. They learned themselves. So, if the machine is learning this mission-critical, highly sensitive, highly safety conscious functionality that we don’t fully understand, we’re going to need humans in the loop almost to a larger degree.

But I think as we’ve talked before, the role for the human and the machine is a little bit different. It’s not that we’re necessarily going to be getting a user story and writing a ton of code and maybe human test it like we may have done before. What the computers, what the humans do, we’re shifting some of that paradigm a little bit and I think people have to be comfortable with that change in what their role is, what they’re good at. Computers are really good at certain tasks, LLMs are good at certain tasks, but as we know, they’re very myopic in certain other tasks. The danger right now is of course in the rush to cut costs managers or well-meaning product owners might decide to try, and as you said, cut that human loop to save money and then they end up with a quality nightmare and they won’t realize it until it’s too late.

Shane Hastie: I know that you do have some studies and some stats and of course there’s the caveat, there are lies, there are damned lies, and there are statistics to misquote. But what are some of the numbers that you are seeing and that you’re hearing about?

Studies showing challenges with AI-generated code quality [08:20]

Adam Sandman: It’s a great question. First of all, in terms of developers, just of the audience that we know we’re talking a lot to, the statistic that was mind-blowing, it came from a friend of mine, Andrew Palmer from Fujitsu, who’s been studying a lot of AI, the website we all know and love, Stack Overflow, where we all get inspiration, how to write code or solve problems that maybe have been solved before. Since November 2022 when ChatGPT was launched to today, their traffic is down by about 80%. You can see the graph and other coding websites are equally impacted. It’s not just them. So, where we as developers got our content from and maybe cut and paste, maybe editet, we’re now getting it from Copilot, Amazon Q, Gemini, we use a lot.

So, the question I suppose, is that code better quality or worse quality than copy and paste from Stack Overflow? That’s a good question, but a separate study which tries to look into that a little deeper from a company called PlaneIT in Australia, they came up with a study that the volume of code has gone up 300%. So, a single developer can write 300% more code when using a good or appropriate automation tool. I’ll talk a little about that next. There are some better benefits and differences in trying them out, but there’s a 400% decrease in the quality of that code so that the unit tests were failing. The testing team found four times as many defects going into the testing than they had 18 months earlier when it was purely coming from humans and human websites and human knowledge.

So, that’s one of the challenges. I’ve seen this when doing coding myself. I have built some integration with a system that doesn’t have good documentation. If I was searching the documentation and trying to find API methods and documentation, I couldn’t find it. So, I asked ChatGPT and Gemini independently to generate what sample code would be and they quite heroically came up with very well reasonably looking methods. It looked the exact format they should be that they bear no reality to anything implemented in the app itself. You run them once and they don’t run. So, in the olden world, I would’ve tried to find the documentation.

I would search Stack Overflow, which I did do actually. I couldn’t find the answers. I would’ve probably had to then find someone who knew this tool because it’s more obscure and ask the help or I’d give up or I would have to do a lot of testing myself to get all the JSON and all the different data elements. But the Copilot tools gave me a sample of JSON that looked just plausible. It looked like all the other packets that did have documentation. So, it fit the format, it fit the spec, but it was completely bogus, completely made up. I noticed that I think Gemini was less prone to this than say ChatGPT for this use case, but other cases were different. So, that’s where I think it can be very dangerous and introduce many quality issues.

Another use case that was very interesting, where I think it really helped us, is we had some SQL. Another thing developers really hate, at least I know as a developer, I hate, performance. We have code that runs, it’s beautiful. We spend a lot of time on it and now it’s slow and the client’s not happy. We have to rewrite this thing and it’s the worst task because it’s not fun. It’s not exciting, it’s not a new user interface, it’s just taking something you’ve done already and redoing it. So, what we did is we actually asked Gemini to rewrite a SQL Server SQL statement, and we gave it the parameters and why it was slow. It did it and we had no idea if it was a good SQL or not honestly. We didn’t have a lot of DBAs available for this project.

Then when we put it through our unit test harness, it was functionally equivalent. So, we had good testing so we could test it. That’s the key here is a good unit test and it was 30% faster in production and the client was happy. That to me was a really good use case of AI where we didn’t have a DBA on staff. It was a singular problem we had to do on this one stored proc. So, to hire someone for one stored proc to learn your application, a lot of times people wouldn’t bother. They would just tell the client, “Well, it’s as optimized as it can be”, ie with our current team and maybe that will be it.

So I felt like that was a really, really powerful use case where because we had really good automated coverage that the developers had written and spent the time to write, we had confidence it was functionally equivalent, but now it could fix the performance issue, which is a more unmeasurable and less quantitative, well less deterministic. It depends a lot on the load and the types of application. We ran it through the production load where we could see the benefits for that specific client’s use cases.

For other clients, we hadn’t seen a performance issue. So, that’s why it’s hard to format those and test those. With AI, you could try five different combinations and I think we did try multiple. It wasn’t just the first one that ran. We tried three or four, got three or four answers, tried each one in turn, made sure that the ones we used were all functionally equivalent from unit tests, and then we took the fastest of I think the four. So, to me, that was a really good AI use case and a good stat we had.

Shane Hastie: Again, leveraging the tools for what the tools are good at.

Adam Sandman: Right, exactly. So, trying to write an API where the documentation doesn’t exist is just literally hallucination paradise. It’s making it up based on the pattern. So, if all the methods have the same pattern and all the JSON has the same pattern, I can make that up too. I can assume that the method will look the same, but that’s not solving the problem. But something that performance, which is generally quite hard, there’s a lot of documentation out there on SQL Server.

There’s a large amount of ingestible content, but I haven’t got the time as a human to read it and understand it all. This is where an LLM was very good at being able to synthesize all that accumulated human knowledge and give me the one nugget and rewrite the stored proc in the way that synthesized that knowledge in a really quantifiable way and a very specific way for this one business problem that we had.

Shane Hastie: Other example you mentioned when we were chatting earlier was the execution of just point the tool at the product and say, “Do this”.

Potential and limitations of autonomous testing [13:44]

Adam Sandman: Yes, the autonomous testing. For those who have coming from all from the development world, if you ever decide to go to a testing conference right now, every vendor, every supplier is going to talk about this. This is what the latest buzzword is in the industry, autonomous testing. Go search on Google or ChatGPT or Perplexity on this topic. Here’s the practical reality today. If you use some of the most advanced and expensive LLMs, we’ve tried this out with Claude Sonnet 3.5 and 3.7. They’ve got a feature called computer use and what computer use basically is, if you’re not familiar with it is and I think Microsoft has something similar to OpenAI, they’ve trained it to look at all these common applications.

So, it’s learn what a web browser is, it’s learned what Office is, what Excel is. So, it’s basically learned the sum knowledge of user interface design and modern applications. Now you can point it at your application and we’ve tried this. We gave an application, never seen before, and we asked to perform some very simple tasks. It was interesting what it did. So, this was a simple application. We built the testing. So, it is simple. That’s really important to bear in mind here. I’ll come back why that’s important in a minute. If there’s a login page, password login button, you go to a grid with some data. It has a list of books. You can edit the books, change the genre, change something else, save it. That’s it. Very simple.

Traditional automated testing tools, you could build scripts to do to automate it. We just told it to log in with the login and password that we gave it and we said change the genre of a book. I think it was Pride and Prejudice to detective fiction, which obviously isn’t, but that’s fine. We didn’t say there was a login button. We didn’t say there was a menu. We didn’t say there was an edit button which you normally would need. We just told it what I told you and it was able to log in and do it, perform the tasks. It performs every time pretty consistently. It’s actually quite amazing to watch. The interesting thing was on the second go round of one of the times I was doing this, I forgot to reset the book back to romantic fiction or whatever it really is. I left it at detective fiction.

When I ran the test, it logged in and it said, “I’m done”. It had figured out that the book was already in the right genre and so it said I don’t need to change it. So, that was fascinating. Is that a manual test and is the pass or a fail? My test was wrong. So, that’s where it can be very interesting what it can do. The other thing we can have it do is log in and look at the screen and compare differences simultaneously while doing this. The problem with this is I feel like is this shows people, especially people who have budgets, wow, I don’t need any testers. We’ll just have us do our testing and magic.

There’s two to three problems with this today. Unlike a modern automated testing script, which if you run them every quick takes a few milliseconds, it takes about five seconds to do every operation because it’s doing what’s called decision tree. It’s not a simple LLM. It’s using a chain of thought. So, it goes through every possible probability and you can even see in the log what it’s doing. It’s doing something like, “Hey, this is a screen, this screen’s got some links. I have edited this book. Is that an edit? Is that the right one? Let me try it”. You can see it thinking. This is costing thousands and thousands of tokens, maybe millions of tokens, which translates to actually hundreds of dollars.

We did a study and it actually will cost you more than a manual test right now to use this at scale today. Now the compute power will change. But the second problem with this is this is just a very artificial simple application. What are people testing for real? Complex business apps, imagine that was SAP or Salesforce or Microsoft Office or any of the apps that you are developing, you are testing. It’s going to have a hard time. Now what we are thinking in the future is going to be though to some degree is the magic will be the spec. If we have good requirements and this application understands the requirements and the documentation, it has a better chance of being able to do this.

But that means we need to have better requirements, better quality in what we’re doing, and I think it’s still going to require humans in there to help guide us. So, it’s almost like an intern. You’ve got a testing intern which can do a lot of tasks quite well, but it won’t get it right first time and you train it. So, I think as testers and developers, a lot of the AI is going to be a very smart intern that we have, which works with us almost like the ultimate pair programming from the agile days working with us in pair. I think that’s where we can see some amazing benefits. Again, like the performance testing, like the unit testing, laborious, boring, uncreative mundane tasks that we tend to short circuit as humans, it loves doing.

The things that we are very good at, pattern recognition, some of the things, understanding the why behind we’re doing things is very important. Especially when you’re looking at systems that are AI generated, there’s also an ethical dimension. As a business analyst, you have to almost have a philosophy degree and maybe human ethics degree because a lot of these systems now are learning for themselves and we as humans have to test, “Are they fit for purpose in the engineering sense?” Fit for purpose, not the software sense, which is if you build a bridge or house or something and it’s fit for purpose.

What we think of that meaning is does it solve the business need? Not just did they meet the architect’s drawing, but you can’t actually walk up the stairs because the stairs are too steep. So, a lot of what we as software professionals have to think about is we’re almost like engineers and architects and have to look at the human factor side of what we’re building, whether we’re developing testing or being a business analyst.

Shane Hastie: What about the collapse of roles?

Collapsing roles in software development [18:46]

Adam Sandman: That’s a really good point and we talked about this a little bit earlier on as well, is that as a developer, well as a software professional, let’s think of it that way. I can use a low-code prototype that’s maybe 70% functional. I can show it to a client. Do I need to be a developer for that? Am I a tester? I’m doing the testing by pointing the AI at my application that I’ve low code generated. So, maybe the role of a business analyst, a developer, and a tester collapses into a software professional, software engineer role and that you have to be responsible for that whole piece rather than it being a handoff. The other thing which is interesting is one of the things I remember from the olden days of computing was we could do prototyping really fast for clients.

If you look at the agile manifesto, which is now of course 24 years old and not so revolutionary, the whole point was getting feedback early. If we can use AI to give a customer or a user an application, you write the requirement today and maybe by the next morning you’ve got not just a mock-up in Photoshop or Figma or something, but you’ve got an actual working application. My commitment to that was only to prototype, but using the AI. If they want to change it, I’m not going to spent weeks and weeks building it. I can change it on the fly. We can build much more real time collaborative experiences because the AI is making my human investment, emotional investment in this prototype much or less.

Now we get this real time iteration of feedback, which was always the ideal for Agile, but really was limited by the tools we had. So, yet again, Agile with AI is going to have a blending of roles and I feel like it can increase the feedback loop because now you can see real applications with real data or real synthetic data or let’s say realistic synthetic data at the very least in production, which suddenly the product owner or the client or even the end users, you could even have them try this out. If we’re way off base, we can make change tomorrow. We’re not waiting a month to change course.

I mean I think that can be a game changer for the efficiency of software startups when we know it may lower the bar for new entrants. A lot of these software players that have been around for a while could be challenged by new entrants with new ideas because the cost of innovating is going to be much lower for a small innovative startup company potentially.

Shane Hastie: What’s in your crystal ball?

Looking to the future [20:51]

Adam Sandman: Oh, well, it depends on what you ask. One member of my team is quite dystopian and it’s like, “We should all become plumbers. It’s going to do everything for us”. That’s not my crystal ball, that’s his. I think what we’re going to see with software development engineering, I think we’re going to see a lot more AI being used to help design the systems, take requirements to get feedback. I think we’re going to see potentially a lot more software maybe that’s not written for humans to use the way we do today. So, if we’re going to interact with AI at a human level, we are using screens, keyboards. We keep thinking it’s going to be all current user interface. So, I feel like AI hasn’t dramatically evolved the user interface.

But if you look at what agentic workflows and agentic AI can do, which is it can open up a computer, it can do things. I mean the whole experience of us interacting with our computer if successful should be different. I mean the classic example that people that our industry are talking about is instead of me going on Google trying to find how do I book a flight to… Let’s say I’m going to come visit you in New Zealand. I’m going to book a flight. I’m going to go to hotels. Maybe I’ve got my itinerary to go see the South Island and I like Lord of the Rings. So, I want to go visit and see all the sites. Well, the agentic AI could be given that paragraph. It would go with human feedback from me because obviously I might like certain hotels and they know I’ve got Marriott Rewards.

Ephemeral applications built on the fly and discarded [22:07]

It wants to go at Marriott. So, we could potentially book all that trip interacting with websites. We’ve even seen examples now where it will build the website on the fly. So, I saw a really interesting example where it was last year at a conference. Someone wanted to go find a restaurant in… I think it was New York City. Instead of it going to Google and doing that, the AI built a website on the fly for that user’s question and it took data from Yelp and other sources and various other things that it had access to. It built a one-page customized web page for that one user’s query like an ephemeral application. So, I think you might see more of this ephemeral apps where the workflow is building an app for you that then is disposed of as soon as the query is done.

So, the user interface has become non-persistent and maybe it’s the logic and it’s the knowledge and the data that’s persistent. You think about that. That changes software testing and development immensely, and the ethical privacy concerns. If I’m a restaurant owner and I don’t appear in the search results, I go to Yelp and I say, “Why am I being discriminated against this and maybe allure against it?” Well, this ephemeral application presented me with data that’s gone, who knows what it gave me? Who knows if there’s some sponsorship going on behind the scenes that somehow biases the app? How do we know?

So I think in my crystal ball, I feel like the whole user interface and the way we interact with computers is going to change in the next three years and how we develop software is going to change because there was no human building that web page. That was generated on the fly from existing data. So, as humans, what are we developing? What are we testing? I think our roles as software professionals will be very different. I think we’re going to have to figure out how do we work in that world and what are we doing and what are we using our tools for? I think as software professionals, if someone’s coming out of college or going to college today, they’re 18 and they were asking me, “What should I learn?”

Because a lot of parents do ask me this question and four years ago they’d been, “Get a computer science degree, become a developer, learn Java, learn Python or something”. I think nowadays I would say get a range of skills, learn design, learn software development, learn AI, learn data science, learn history, learn material design. I mean I would say go to a UX course. Maybe do something that’s out in the three-dimensional world like industrial design. Take an architecture course, right?

I think we have to broaden our skill sets because computers are going to be very good at these narrow specialized tasks. I think as you said, the collapsing of roles. We are very good generalists, and to be a successful engineer four years from now or as professional in software, I think on IT, you have to have that more generalist outlook. If you just expect to be able to write code or write tests or write user stories and that’s what you do, I think the world has changed and will change more.

Shane Hastie: The rise again of the generalist.

The rise again of the generalist [24:41]

Adam Sandman: Right. I’ve always liked that. As someone who started a company 18 years ago, that’s what it appears to be about being an entrepreneur. I had to learn tax, accounting, law, software development, marketing, business operations, HR, and I love that. Now some people don’t like that, but I think, yes, I talk about the solopreneur, the one-person unicorn. Could that be the future? Maybe. But it might be that as companies do look to automate more of their back office and white collar type of tasks, we may have the rise of the more generalist role, not the craftsman per se, but the large white collar standardized workflows where you go in and do the same task day in, day out, which I think has been replaced in the factory world.

It’s being replaced to some degree in the information world. We have to look for those more generalist roles. I think that is the future and we’re seeing it. I mean people who start companies have to have that and I think people recognize that with AI, you can potentially have a force multiplication of 10 starting a business. You don’t need 1,000 developers in the Bay Area. You can now have a very small team put together quite credible, quite quickly and get real feedback and even launch it.

Shane Hastie: Adam, a lot to think about there. If people want to continue the conversation, where do they find you?

Adam Sandman: Love to have those conversations. I do travel a lot. You go on LinkedIn, you’ll see where I am. I’ve travelled to most continents for speaking and also go to various events. Always happy to meet in person. Otherwise, on LinkedIn is probably the best place. I’m Adam Sandman on LinkedIn. There aren’t much many with my name and I’ve got a pink background. So, it’s easy to find me. But always happy to have those conversations.

My emails is also my profile on LinkedIn. But yes, Adam Sandman on LinkedIn is the best. I’ve given up most of the other social channels, I must admit. I find them a little bit too political these days. Again, thanks so much for having me on the show, Shane. It’s been a real pleasure. I learn something every time I come on these shows as well, so appreciate the opportunity.

Shane Hastie: Thank you. It’s been great to see you again.

Google Cloud Fleshes Out its Databases at Next 2025, with an Eye to AI – Datanami

MMS Founder
MMS RSS

Posted on nosqlgooglealerts. Visit nosqlgooglealerts

Google Cloud unveiled a major round of database enhancements at its Next 2025 conference, including a host of new AI features in AlloyDB, a MongoDB-compliant API for Firestore, continuous materialized views in BigTable, MCP connections galore, new database migration services, and the introduction of Oracle Exadata in its cloud.

When it comes to AI, Google Cloud is seeing a considerable amount of momentum in AlloyDB, its Postgres-flavored relational database service. It adopted the open source pgvector extension for Postgres in mid 2023, allowing AlloyDB customers to store vector embeddings directly in their database and query them using the extension’s approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) algorithm.

In April 2024, Google Cloud added the internally developed Scalable Nearest Neighbor (ScaNN) algorithm to AlloyDB, giving its database an immediate 8x performance boost in creating vector indexes, a 4x boost in serving vector queries, and a 10x boost in write throughput, according to its April 2024 white paper.

All that AI-focused data processing horsepower has translated directly into a 7x increase in vector searches on AlloyDB over the past year, according to Andi Gutmans, the vice president and general manager of databases at Google Cloud.

“We’re seeing thousands and thousands of customers doing vector processing,” Gutmans said. “Target went into production with AlloyDB for their online retail search and they have 20% better hit rate on recommendations. That’s real revenue.”

Now the company is preparing AlloyDB database for the next round of AI innovation: agentic AI. That work takes several forms, which the company outlined at its Next 2025 conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

For starters, the company is enabling its new Google Agentspace offering, which uses Google’s Gemini AI model to power autonomous AI agents, to conduct structured data searches in AlloyDB. Now GenAI developers can get access to all of the data stored in AlloyDB–structured, unstructured, and real-time–to build AI agents.

In 2024, Google Cloud introduced a natural language interface for AlloyDB, enabling customers to query data using natural language. Now it’s bolstering that natural language query capability by supporting parameterized secure views, which provide an extra layer of security for agents and GenAI apps, Gutmans said.

The company is also working to optimize SQL functionality that spans vector search and structured filters and joins in AlloyDB, which also helps the GenAI developer.

“Vector search is great, but it can be really slow to index vectors. It can be expensive to search them,” Gutmans told BigDATAwire in an interview at Next 2025. “For example, AlloyDB can index 10 times faster than open source Postgres just getting those vectors indexed. Search we do up to 10 times faster if you combine your vector search with database filters and joins. We have optimized the query processor.”

Google Cloud is also introducing a new AlloyDB AI query engine, which allows developers to use natural language expressions and constructs directly within SQL queries. That enables developers to use free text questions, such as “find family-friendly hotels in Orlando,” and directly embed them in their SQL queries.

“We’ve got to win the minds and hearts of the GenAI developers, right?” Gutmans said. “And so a lot of this is around how do you make the AI easier for developers? How do you give them the right APIs? How do you make it more efficient? By bringing things lower down into the database. So that’s a lot of the work we’re doing.”

Google Cloud has also added support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) to a range of its databases via the Gen AI Toolbox for Databases, which the company first unveiled in February. Gen AI Toolbox originally was focused on providing LangChain data integration capabilities to AlloyDB, Spanner, Cloud SQL for Postgres, Cloud SQL for MySQL, and Cloud SQL for SQL Server. Now it’s supporting MCP, the protocol Anthropic unveiled late last year to connect a range of AI models with data and databases.

MCP fits nicely into Google Cloud’s plans for enabling developers to build the next generation of GenAI applications, Gutman said.

“We’re definitely seeing interest in in MCP,” he said. “MCP is really a very simple but very effective way to expose data services, or any service to foundation models. It’s JSON-RPC based. It’s got a way to do discovery. It’s got a way to have natural language descriptions for services. So you can actually have agents and models reason around which APIs should I be calling. So it’s a very simple but I think very effective protocol.”

Other DB Announcements at Next 2025

It’s not all the GenAI and AlloyDB show at Google Cloud, which sports half-a-dozen or so distinct database offerings. One of those other databases is Firestore, the company’s NoSQL document store.

Google Cloud welcomed about 30,000 attendees to its Next 2025 conference

At Next 2025, the company announced the addition of a MongoDB-compatible wire protocol to Firestore, which will essentially enable customers to plug in Firestore as the backend to applications that are currently backed by MongoDB, the JSON data store that’s immensely popular with developers.

“Firestore is a serverless, virtually unlimited-scale document database, with up to five 9s availability,” Gutmans said. “But it had a bespoke API. Customers love it. We have 600,000 developers on it. But they all said ‘Hey can you give me a MongoDB-compatible API so I can use my tools and frameworks that I’m already using?’”

Bigtable, the company’s other NoSQL database (of the wide-column variety, ala Cassandra) is also getting some new capabilities at Next 2025. Specifically, Google Cloud is giving Bigtable continuous materialized views, which will provide an easy way to build counters for real-time analytics.

Vector search is now generally available on Google Cloud Spanner, the company’s planet-scale operational data store. The vector search functions spans Spanner’s SQL, graph, key-value, and full-text search modalities.

Google Cloud also extended its partnership with database giant Oracle in several ways. First, it launched a new offering called Oracle Base Database Service, which expands on the Oracle Database@Google Cloud offering it launched in four global regions last year. It also announced the GA of Oracle Exadata X11M, which brings the latest generation of Oracle’s Exadata platform to Google Cloud. The Oracle databases are available in 20 Google Cloud locations, according to Google Cloud (Oracle says it’s available in 11 regions due to the way it measures infrastructure).

Microsoft SQL Server is now supported in Google Cloud’s Database Migration Service (DMS), giving customers the ability to migrate their SQL Server installations to Postgres running either on AlloyDB or Cloud SQL. Google Cloud is welcoming SQL Server customers with

“Microsoft has made it very difficult for customers to use their licenses wherever they want to,” Gutmans said. “It’s not a technical problem. It’s a commercial problem. And customers just are getting more and more frustrated with the fact that they’re being like into the Azure environment as opposed to being able to have choice.”

Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases now supports hybrid search for Aurora PostgreSQL and …

MMS Founder

Posted on mongodb google news. Visit mongodb google news

Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases now extends support for hybrid search to knowledge bases created using Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and MongoDB Atlas vector stores. This capability, which can improve relevance of the results, previously only worked with Opensearch Serverless and Opensearch Managed Clusters in Bedrock Knowledge Bases.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) applications use semantic search, based on vectors, to search unstructured text. These vectors are created using foundation models to capture contextual and linguistic meaning within data to answer human-like questions. Hybrid search merges semantic and full-text search methods, executing dual queries and combining results. This approach improves results relevance by retrieving documents that match conceptually from semantic search or that contain specific keywords found in full-text search. The wider search scope enhances result quality, particularly for keyword-based queries.

You can enable hybrid search through the Knowledge Base APIs or through the Bedrock console. In the console, you can select hybrid search as your preferred search option within Knowledge Bases, or choose the default search option to use semantic search only. Hybrid search with Aurora PostgreSQL is available in all AWS Regions where Bedrock Knowledge Bases is available, excluding Europe (Zurich) and GovCloud (US) Regions. Hybrid search with Mongo DB Atlas is available in the US West (Oregon) and US East (N. Virginia) AWS Regions. To learn more, refer to Bedrock Knowledge Bases documentation. To get started, visit the Amazon Bedrock console.

Microsoft Collaborates with Anthropic to Launch C# SDK for MCP Integration

MMS Founder
MMS Robert Krzaczynski

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Microsoft has partnered with Anthropic to develop an official C# SDK for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol designed to connect large language models (LLMs) with external tools and data sources. The SDK is open-source and available under the modelcontextprotocol GitHub organization.

The C# SDK is based on an existing community project called mcpdotnet, originally started by Peder Holdgaard Pederson. Microsoft acknowledged the groundwork laid by Pederson and other contributors, which helped shape the foundation for this release. David Fowler, a distinguished engineer at Microsoft, noted:

Most of the credit goes to Peder Holdgaard Pedersen who we teamed up with after he built a great implementation!

Initially introduced by Anthropic in late 2024, MCP has seen increasing adoption across AI platforms. It defines a set of messages and behaviors that allow applications to communicate with tool- and resource-hosting servers in a standardized way. Several Microsoft products, including Copilot Studio, Semantic Kernel, and GitHub Copilot agent mode in VS Code, have already adopted MCP internally.

Robert Recalde, a principal engineer and cloud solution architect at Cigna Healthcare, highlighted the significance of the release:

As a software architect and engineer deeply rooted in .NET, I am excited about Microsoft’s collaboration with Anthropic to deliver the official C# SDK for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This partnership significantly expands our ability to integrate advanced AI capabilities seamlessly into our .NET applications, empowering our organization and business partners to innovate rapidly and deliver tangible, real-world value.

The protocol supports a variety of standard messages for tool execution and resource access, such as ListToolsRequest, CallToolRequest, and ReadResourceRequest. This allows agentic applications to reason across a wider context and consistently call out to external services.

Some developers have raised questions about authentication support, including OAuth and OpenID Connect. Responding to these concerns, Microsoft engineer Mike Kistler confirmed:

We plan to support all the authentication protocols described in the MCP spec. We do not have a definite target date for this but it is very high on our priority list.

The SDK aims to take advantage of modern .NET runtime improvements and is intended to build clients and servers in the MCP ecosystem. Applications built using it can expose functionality via custom MCP servers or connect to others to extend LLM capabilities.

The SDK is available now via NuGet. Documentation, samples, and source code can be found in the official GitHub repository.

Transcript

Kassan: Internally at Databricks, I call myself the governess of data. The topics I end up covering are things like responsibility and capability maturity, and stuff like that. It sounds like I’m everyone’s nanny, hopefully more of the like Mary Poppins style than the ones that get taken away on umbrellas. I’ll talk a little bit about responsible AI, some of the things that we’re seeing now. How organizations are approaching that. A little bit of a regulation update. Obviously, there’s quite a lot going on in the space, and in particular, for FinTech, there are some specific things in there as well. Then, the response that we’re seeing in the industry and how that’s being approached.

Responsible AI

I was going to start with responsible AI. I like to lay the groundwork of what we’re talking about. One of the things to think about this, just to level set, 80% of companies are planning to increase their investment in responsible AI. Over the last few years, especially, we’ve seen a tremendous increase, of course, in the desire to use AI, and a parallel increase in the need to think about what that means from a risk perspective. How do you get the value of AI and the capabilities that it will drive for your organization and unlock that value, without creating a massive reputational risk for your company, or potentially business, and financial risks? When we think about responsible AI, we think of in multiple levels. A lot of people talk about the ethics. That’s where I started, actually. I was in data science ethics. I had a podcast for it for several years.

As a data scientist who came into the industry when things weren’t quite such a buzz, it was so important to see where could it go. There’s multiple levels. At the very bottom is where we see regulatory compliance. We have to follow the guidelines that are set in place to be compliant with regulation. Otherwise, we’re going to be out of business. That’s how it works. In the ethics space, this is like, what should we do? If we could make AI act the way we would act and have the same values that we have, what should we do? Getting there, as we may have seen in the last year and a half, is very challenging. Really, where we end up is, what can we do? What are the things that we can put in place to be responsible with AI and put in place guardrails that we actually can enforce, knowing that the aspiration is to get to ethics, but the realistic intention and goal is to be responsible. That’s where we’re at. That 80% of companies are looking to say, “Yes, I have to be compliant. That I’ve already invested in. What else can I do?” This is that next step.

I break this down to four levels. If you think about coming from the top down. At the top, you have the program, that’s really the, if we could do anything, if we could be the most ethical people that we intend to be, what does that look like for our company? It’s setting the stage on the ethical principles and the vision of what our organization wants to achieve and intends to be. This is where, at those top level, you typically see somewhere between four and six ethical principles in a given company. Some group of people, probably in the C-suite, maybe the board, are setting out some high-level principles, like, we want to be fair and unbiased. We want to be transparent. We want to be human centric. These kinds of very big, vague, floaty ideas.

Then, at some point, you have to translate that down. You say, that’s great and all. What does that mean to those of us who are actually in the organization? What is it we have to do to be whatever vague concept you’ve just thrown out there? That’s where you see policies. This is that translation down one level to say, what are the frameworks, what are the rules of the road? Are there specific things that that means we can or can’t do as an organization? Do we have to say, every time we’re going to create an AI, we need to evaluate it against this policy and say, is this allowed? Is this ok for us in our organization? Every organization is going to handle this a little differently.

Beneath that, the next level of translation is then, how do we create processes to enforce the policy? What does it look like to start enacting that on a daily basis? Do we have an AI review board that looks at this and says, does a given application of AI conform with the policy, conform with therefore the principles? Do we have auditing over time? How does this change other processes in our organization, like procurement, or like cybersecurity, for example? This is where you have all the different processes that the organization is going to operate under.

Then, at the bottom, you’ve got the practice, the actual hands to keyboard building these things. What is the way that we’re going to actually implement responsible AI? What are the tools and the templates and the techniques that we’re going to use to evaluate AI as we start to build it into our organization? What you find is that this middle section is what ends up being called AI governance. It’s governing the practice. It’s governing to make sure that these tools, templates, and techniques, abide by the processes and follow that process that is then aligned to the policy that then hopefully gets you closer to your principles. This is the stack of responsible AI.

In terms of principles, I’ve summarized from a lot of different frameworks these that end up being roughly what you find. It’s usually some subset of these. Basically, this is the picklist that ends up happening at the highest levels of, which of these do we think is most important? We’ve seen a lot more emphasis, for example, on security lately. Because there’s a lot of concern about, how do we make sure that IP is not infringed, that our information is not getting put out there, that our customers’ information is not going to be exposed? This safety and security ends up being a big part of that. Of course, we’ve also seen that in privacy as well. Now, with additional regulation, compliance is taking on more meaning, has more aspects to it. Other things that we find, for example, is efficiency.

Typically, building AI takes a lot of power, takes a lot of processing, takes a lot of money. Not the thing that most organizations, especially FinTechs, want to spend to do this. If they can get the capability less expensive, they want to. Efficiency is something that’s been talked about more because the energy costs of creating and maintaining and doing inference with AI, especially large language models, is becoming a bigger concern. How do we power these things? If efficiency becomes one of your principles, then you look at how you minimize that to still get the same outputs while not impacting the environment and also not impacting your budget.

Regulation Update

Quick update on regulation. Again, 77% of companies see regulatory compliance and regulation as a priority for AI. Of course, with the EU AI Act, that’s increasing. Anyone who does business with, or near, or on EU citizens, this is going to be a concern with the EU AI Act coming in. We’ve also seen new regulation elsewhere, and I’ll do a little bit of a mapping on that. Of course, in that ladder, the first step is, can we be compliant? With regulation changing, what it means to be compliant is changing. Of course, companies are saying, yes, we should probably still also be compliant with whatever happens. This is probably not up to date. It changes literally daily. We’re seeing regulation all over the place. The patterns that it takes is different.

In the States, what we’ve seen up to this point is more an indication that existing laws need to be abided, even if you’re using AI to do the thing. In Europe, they’re taking a different approach and saying, we’re going to have this risk based hierarchical view of how AI can and should be applied. In China, they’re saying, you can do AI as long as it is in accord with the party aspirations and how they think about the way they want their society to run. In fairness, that’s how responsible AI and regulation works. Everybody has their view of what does it mean to be responsible? What values should we be enforcing? Not universal, which makes it, again, very difficult if you’re operating in a multinational environment. We’re also starting to see additional regulations coming in in Japan, in India, in Brazil, lots of different approaches. In Australia, of course. Tons of different ways that this actually ends up implemented, and the things that you need to comply with will be different by jurisdiction.

I’ll go through a couple. Please understand that for a lot of them, preexisting laws do still apply. This is what I was talking about. In the states, if you look at the way they’re handling it, they basically say, if something was illegal before when a human was doing it, it’s still illegal if an AI does it. You’re not allowed to discriminate based on protected classes, if you’re a human. You’re not allowed to discriminate algorithmically if you’re using AI. That’s how that goes. Data and consumer protection still apply. You don’t get to just blast people’s information out there, because the AI accidentally did it, which we’ve seen. Intellectual property still applies. All the copyright disputes and IP infringements that have been spinning up in litigation still applies on AI. Anti-discrimination. Anything criminal.

For example, there’s a lot of worry about, could AI tell someone how to do something terrible that would constitute criminal behavior? There’s a lot of concern around, how do you guard against your AI saying something it shouldn’t, that it probably knows about, but you don’t want anyone to know it knows about, just based on how it was trained. There’s a lot of filtering that goes on for that. Then antitrust and unfair competition. Basically, with antitrust, it’s saying, you can’t use AI to create a non-competitive environment, despite the fact that the AI itself might be doing that.

EU AI Act: four categories of risk. You’ve probably heard about this. How many people have looked up the EU AI Act? It’s new to some people. Four categorizations. In the top left over there, unacceptable risk, is stuff that like it’s just disallowed, flat out disallowed. It’s things like behavioral profiling and all kinds of stuff with biometrics and stuff like that. The idea is that if you’re materially distorting behavior, or you’re doing things that are really privacy invading, those are prohibited. Just can’t do. Unless you’re the government or the military or a bunch of other things, just asterisks all over this slide. Imagine asterisks everywhere, like it’s snowing. Snowing caveats. In that category, hopefully in your organization, you’re not dealing with any of those things. If you are, probably think about ways to take them out now, because this is going to happen. This is going to come into effect in a year or so, year and a half. High risk.

In high risk, what it’s basically saying is, if there’s the potential for this to influence someone’s means of earning a living, means of living, health, safety, access to critical infrastructure, those kinds of things, you have to go through a very rigorous documentation process called the conformity assessment. This is where a fair bit of FinTech organizations are going to end up having something to do, and probably in the limited risk, which I’ll get to. The conformity assessment is a lot.

That said, finance has been doing impact assessments and compliance documentation for decades. I’ve been there. It sucks, but you do it. You put out reams of documentation about how you got to the conclusion you got to. Why this model was the best one of all the things you tested. Why these features were selected. What their relative importance is. How you’ve tested for disparate impact, all that good stuff. It’s that plus a bunch of other things that go into the conformity assessment. The documentation that you’ve done so far, drop in the bucket. My hope, personally, is that we can then train an LLM to help generate the documentation, and then we can figure out which bucket that falls into. I’m thinking minimal. That’s the high-risk group. There are some caveats on that as well.

Limited risk, basically, if it’s not one of the other two, but it interacts with a person, you have to tell the person, “You’re interacting with an AI”. The fun one I think about here is, a few years ago, Google did a demonstration of what was a Duo, or something like that, where they had an AI application that called and made a booking at a restaurant, or something like that. If that were the case under the EU AI Act, the phone call would sound like, “Hi, this is Google Duo calling. This is an AI. I would like to book a reservation for this particular person on this date and time”. Because you have to tell them. This is true then for all the chatbots that are being created and all these use cases that are coming in now where there’s an interaction with a person. Similarly, it would work for internal. Even if you’re not necessarily displacing customer service, for example, if you’re augmenting your customer service staff, you have to tell your customer service staff, this is an AI chatbot that’s giving you a script.

This is not a preprogrammed defined rules engine, this is an AI. Just so they’re aware. Then everything else is minimal risk. For example, things like fraud detection fall into minimal risk, according to the way that the current structure has been laid out. These are very vague. There are examples in the act, if you want to read through the 200 and some odd pages of it. I don’t recommend it unless you have insomnia, in which case, have at. The majority of what this will do, I think, again, not a lawyer, my own interpretation is a lot of how this is going to come together, will happen in litigation. As new applications come online once this is enforced, we will probably see a lot of the rules get a little bit more clear as to what they consider high risk, unacceptable risk, lower risk, and so forth. Because right now, there’s some vague understandings of what we think people are going to try and do with AI, but it’s not specific yet.

In the act, there are also specific rules around general-purpose AI and foundation models. If you’re training a general-purpose or a foundation model on your own, first of all, I would like your budget. Secondly, there are specific rules around how you have to be transparent, and how many flops you can have, and all kinds of crazy stuff. That’s for the few that want to actually build a model, which at Databricks we did. We had to actually look at that stuff.

The other one I wanted to talk about, specific to FinTechs, is consumer duty. This came in, I think, last year. It has some interesting implications for responsible AI. First of all, it says, design for good customer outcomes. How do you define a good customer outcome? How do you know that that customer outcome avoids foreseeable harm? This is going back to that conformity assessment, disparate impact assessment, all these things that you have to prove are doing the right thing for your customers. The next part is demonstrating your supply chain.

With AI, the supply chain gets a little nebulous, so you have to think about, what is your procurement process? How do you track what data is coming in, being used in your AI, how it’s being labeled, how it’s being featurized, how it’s being vectorized or chunked, or whatever you’re using, to be able to actually put it into an AI application. For FinTech, there’s this extra bit. Again, I think it’s probably mostly there for most financial services companies, including FinTech, because, again, we’ve been subject to this stuff for a long time. Things to think about with our new technologies is, how is this actually going to play out over time?

FinTech Response

It does bring us into the response, though, from FinTech. More stats, because I’m a numbers nerd. According to a survey of FinTechs, they expect a 10% to 30% revenue boost in the next 3 years, most leaders in FinTech, based on the use of generative AI specifically. This is not uncommon. I’ve heard this 30% thing bandied about. I think McKinsey had another one that was like, 30% efficiency from using generative AI. You’re going to save 30% of whatever costs, and all this stuff. Maybe. The reputation of FinTech is two things. There’s the disruption angle. From a technology perspective or digital native perspective, it’s also open source. When you think about how you’re going to achieve this 10% to 30% in a way that others aren’t, so you want to be disruptive. You don’t want to be the next J.P. Morgan, who’s saying, yes, we can incrementally improve our efficiency by 10%. FinTech is saying, no, we want to do something massively different, completely different from what the big guys are doing, disrupt it.

Often, especially in early stage, you want to go for something that you can build and control. It’s actually an advantage now, because when you talk about knowing and ensuring your supply chain for AI, being able to have transparency, driving towards responsibility. The more you use open source and can see the code and can see the data and can see the weights and can show all of that, the better you are able to take that, use it to your advantage, prove the supply chain. Go through the conformity assessments, and disrupt, so that you’re not the one sitting there going, yes, I will incrementally improve my efficiency, and I might get a 5% decrease in some sort of cost. We’re seeing, in FinTech, a lot of interest in the open-source models, a lot of interest in being able to build and fine-tune, especially for LLMs. Of course, that’s always been there for machine learning, and data science, and so forth. I’ve not yet met a FinTech using SaaS, which I’m very grateful for, but just taking advantage of what’s available.

That said, as a disruptor, there’s nothing holding you back from saying, we think there’s a 20% reduction in workforce that we could actually achieve. What’s interesting here is that it’s the unspoken bit in other industries, but in FinTech, it’s actually moving in that direction. There’s a lot of noise about it. Going from processes that had been manual through to augmenting people, and then eventually automating those capabilities. A great example of that was Klarna. A couple months ago, Klarna’s CEO, it was actually on their own website, on their blog, said, we have a chatbot that’s been handling two-thirds of our customer service requests over the last couple of months. It’s gotten better quality. There have been fewer issues where people had to come back and talk to somebody again.

We’re looking at that, and we’re seeing that it could replace 700 workers. They were public about this. Why? Because FinTech, most digital natives, are known for disrupting. They rely on technology. It’s that techno solutionism of being able to say, yes, we want to do this. Thinking back to those principles, does that make you human centric or not? These are the decisions that end up having ramifications for what you do with AI. If you’re saying we’re customer centric, we want to make sure that the humans that we’re serving are our customers, but that means potentially not serving our employees in the same way, not ensuring their continued work in this company.

Although, frankly, what he said was those were all outsourced people, so they don’t count as our employees, which, ethically vague. There’s a reason I always wear gray when I give talks about responsible AI, everything’s gray. This is something that’s very much happening now. I can tell you that they’re not the only company saying we think there’s a workforce reduction. I spoke with another very large organization not long ago that said we have 2000 analysts, but we think if we put in place the right tooling, we put in place the right AI, we could drop that to about 200. They’re not saying it publicly. They’re not telling their analysts, your job is on the line, but it’s still there. It’s happening now.

How do we move through this pattern together? From a responsibility perspective, first thing, establish your principles. That includes, how much transparency are you going to give, to whom, in what? These are the policies internally you need to set up. For organizations that have risk management, which FinTech should, extend your risk management framework to include AI. That’s happening now. They’re evaluating, what are the risks that we’re taking on when we put AI into place. Identify what I call no-fly zones. There are some organizations that are saying, we’re probably not in the high-risk camp most of the time, and we don’t really want to go through this conformity assessment stuff. If we could just never use AI in anything to do with HR, that’d be great. Because the moment it touches something like employment status, or pay, or performance, conformity assessment is required. Sometimes it’s just not worth it. Cross-functionally implementing responsible AI. There’s a lot in that one bullet.

This is something that, again, at the start, we’re seeing a lot more security getting involved. We’re seeing CISOs, legal teams, compliance, AI, governance, all coming together to figure out, what do we do? How do we safeguard the organization? How do we look at risk management differently? Do we bring in the risk officers in conjunction with all these other groups? Build your AI review board, including all these cross-functional folks, so that you can establish a holistic approach.

Then, set up practical processes. Saying, we’re just going to do a conformity assessment for every single AI that we ever have, just in case, probably not practical. May or may not need to do it, again, unless the magic LLM that happens someday is able to do all that documentation for you, which, here’s hoping. Try to think about what are all the teams that actually need to come together to help you solve for responsible AI. Especially in FinTech, a lot of this already exists. You’ve got risk management frameworks. You’ve got a model risk management capability. You’ve probably done some amount of documentation of this stuff before. You’ve got a lot of the components, all the people in different teams that could be part of this.

Questions and Answers

Ellis: You said 80% of companies are investing in ethical or responsible AI, does that mean 20% are investing in irresponsible AI?

Kassan: Twenty-percent probably have the hubris to think that they’ve already invested enough.

Ellis: When you talked about limited risk informing, what are you seeing with AIs dealing with AI? Because you talk about AIs dealing with humans a lot. Will you see a stage where AIs have to inform each AI that they’re dealing with an AI? How does that all work? Or what are you seeing with regulations around AIs dealing with AIs?

Kassan: I haven’t seen a tremendous amount of regulation around that area. What I have seen is more that AI will govern AI. It’s that adversarial approach of having an AI that says, explain to me why you said this, as a second buffer. Because a human can’t be there all the time to indicate, yes, this is a good response, or, no, it’s a bad response, in a generative nature. When you’re doing things like governing and checking and evaluating the responses after somebody’s prompted and saying, is this a response that we would want? It’s actually more scalable and effective to have another AI in place as the governor of that. That’s something I am seeing that’s come up quite a bit. It’s things like algorithmic red teaming. Yes, you could have someone try and sit there and type, but humans are constrained as to how quickly we can type and think up the next use case and the next thing we want to try and trick it to do. AIs can do that a lot faster. If we say to one AI, trick that one into saying this, it will find ways, and it’ll do it quick.

Participant 1: We started thinking about enforcing the policy of adding more use cases using generative AI. We came to a conclusion that we have to create a committee to approve every use case. What’s your takeaway about creating that type of committee?

Kassan: That’s the AI review board idea. A couple of things that that body would do. One is set up the policies, so making sure that you have that framework at the start. Also, looking at the processes. At what point do different business areas need to come to the board and say, we have this idea for a new AI application. Maybe they’ve already chatted with somebody who’s from the AI team, data science, machine learning, whatever it might be, to say, we think we want to solve it this way, so that the AI review board can then say, does this realistically conform with the policies, and processes, and so forth. It becomes that touchpoint. There are two issues with that, though. One is, if you don’t have a solid set of information on how you’re going to manage and mitigate risks, that can cause a lot of looping.

The other is, if they don’t meet often, that can cause a bit of a time suck. The two of those compound. You want to make sure that this is something where there’s enough of a framework there, and this comes back to the risk management framework. Understanding, categorizing, and quantifying the risks that you’re taking and understanding what can be done to mitigate them. Having enough information when you first go to that AI review board to say, here’s the stuff that you’re going to need as inputs to risk management. Here are the mitigations we’re planning. Here’s what we’re looking at, so that they can say, yes, go ahead. Then also just making sure they meet pretty frequently.

Participant 2: Do you think we will see a lot of chatbots giving financial advices in the future. What are the regulations in that area?

Kassan: There’s a lot of discussion around AI giving financial advice. There are regulations already in place about robo-advising. It’s been out there. Robo-advising has been out for some time, even without generative AI. I think the regulation will still apply. That said, there’s enough information for us to see that, yes, it’s something that, if the regulation allows in the jurisdiction, companies will absolutely be approaching it. I think the question there becomes one of, how many permutations of advice do you really want to offer? How customized does that become? What other information do you give access to that chatbot? For robo-advising, really, any of that, you’d want to have sufficient, up-to-date information so that it’s not giving advice on, for example, stock performances from six months ago. It’s looking at what’s happening now.

You want to make sure it’s constantly getting information. How many different places and how much information you’re going to feed it on an ongoing basis, because there’s a cost to that? It’s thinking about, what is that going to get you? How much do you want to do? Or, do you set it as almost like a rules-based engine, the way that a lot of robo-advisors do anyways, which is, instead of saying, these specific things would constitute a good portfolio for you. You say, you’re in this risk category, risk appetite category, so we recommend this fund, or whatever, and it’s a picklist. I think it’ll depend on the regulation. Like I said earlier, there are different approaches in every jurisdiction. It’s certainly a use case that comes up quite a bit.

Participant 3: There seems to be two schools of thought around bias, you either eliminate from the dataset beforehand, or you work through and let it be eliminated afterwards. What’s your thought on that?

Kassan: Neither is possible. Bias is something that we try to mitigate, but it’s very challenging, because the biases that you’re trying to take out mean that you’re putting in other biases. Good luck. It’s a vicious cycle. Bias is something that everyone has, various cognitive biases, contextual biases, and so forth. The more we try and do something about it, the more it’s just changing what bias is represented. It’s not to say don’t do it or don’t try to mitigate it, but just be aware that there will be biases. Certain of them are illegal in various countries, and those are the ones you definitely want to mitigate. That’s really what it comes down to.

Participant 4: When we get past the AIs coming for the job of the person operating the phone to the person who’s doing financial trading and moving up the stack. How do we avoid the financial war game scenario where the bots just trade away all the money?

Kassan: Generative AI is not necessarily going to be doing the trading immediately. That’s something that is a little bit different. You’re talking about different styles of agents at that point. It is helpful to think about what limits you put on these systems, so those no-fly zones. Do you allow AI to trade at certain levels? For example, how much do you automate? How much do you augment a human? Or, do you have a human in the loop where the AI says, I think it’d be prudent to do X, Y, and Z, but somebody has to approve it.

Participant 4: Do the regulations prevent someone from making the bad decision that says, I’m going to try and go fully automated on this, when the responsible thing is, keep a human in the loop.

Kassan: Some of it does. To the point earlier around robo-advising or financial advice, certain jurisdictions say you’re not allowed to give financial advice in a chatbot, for example. At that point, great. You’re not automating, you might be augmenting. Instead of a chatbot saying it directly to the person. You’ve got a financial advisor who types something in, and the chatbot says to them, here’s what I’d recommend for this client. Then they get to say, yes or no. Sometimes, depending on the jurisdiction, that’s what you’d end up seeing.

Participant 5: With LLMs being adopted quite widely, do you see that the onus being on being compliant, running against those companies that are building these LLMs, so they have like ISO, or some sort of certification that embeds that confidence that they’re compliant to a certain level.

Kassan: Compliance is an interesting one on this, because compliance is on a per application level at this point. You don’t get certified as a company that you are compliant with the AI regulation. You have to have every single AI certified, if you’re part of the conformity assessment. Every one of them has to go through that. You don’t get a blanket statement saying, stamp, you’re good. I think with respect to LLMs, the probability of things going more awry than in classical machine learning and data science is higher. I think there’s a higher burden of proof to say that we’ve done what we can to try and limit and to try to be responsible with it. It’s certainly acknowledged in all the regulations, but it’s going to be harder. Frankly, when you look at who’s on the hook, the actual liability of what happens, it’s still people. A lot of the regulation has actually been quite clear that it’s still a person, or people who are responsible for the actions of the AI.

Good example of that was the whole debacle with Air Canada and the bereavement policy that the AI said, yes, just go ahead and claim that it’s bereavement. You can say, within 90 days, and we’ll refund your money. They’re like, your AI said it. Go on, you got to honor it. I think there’s more of that. The regulation has been clearer, especially with some of the newer regulation coming out, saying it has to be a natural person that’s responsible. When it comes to financial services here, at least, as I understand it, it’s the MDs who carry that, which is a lot of risk when you look at it at scale.

Antitrust is an interesting one that I think about, not from the perspective of those implementing AI and trying to create anti-competitive environments for their potential competition. More so for the accessibility of AI as a competitive advantage that a lot of the organizations that we’re seeing that are startup or FinTech or digital native and whatnot, they’re going towards open source, partly because you have the ability to use it without having to spend millions of dollars to do it. It creates actually a more competitive environment to have open-source models and to be able to leverage some of these capabilities, so that if somebody does have a new, disruptive idea that would require the use of AI and require the use of LLMs, there’s a means of entry into that market. I personally think that it’s a helpful tool to have these kinds of open-source models to get new entrants into the market, so that it’s not reliant on this token-based economy of having to pay for a proprietary application for AI.
