Generative AI applications are rapidly entering the market, but many fail to recognize the potential risks. These risks include bias, hallucinations, misinformation, factual inaccuracies, and toxic language, which frequently occur in today's generative AI systems. To avoid these risks, it is crucial to thoroughly understand the data used to train generative AI.
Understanding Data Sources and Processing
Knowing the source of training data is not enough. It is also essential to understand how the data is processed, including who has accessed it, what they have done with it, and any inherent biases they may have. Understanding how these biases are compensated for and how quickly identified risks can be addressed is also important. Ignoring potential risks at every step of the AI development process can lead to disastrous consequences in the future.
Ensuring AI Data Interpretability
AI interpretability starts with its training data. Human flaws and biases are present throughout the data lifecycle, from its origin to its entry into the model. Your AI data service provider should not only identify these flaws and biases but also understand the strategies that can be implemented to overcome them.
As a client, understanding the data service process is equally important. If you need to collect data, you should know exactly where the data will come from and who will provide it. Ensuring that the workers responsible for preparing the data are fairly compensated and well-treated is not only ethical and correct but also impacts the quality of work. Ultimately, you should understand how they will execute tasks to help identify and minimize the risk of introducing errors. This knowledge will greatly contribute to ensuring your generative AI model's interpretability.
Considering Diversity and Inclusion in Hiring
Reducing risks involves ensuring that the workers preparing your AI training data are diverse and represent the different user groups that will interact with your generative AI and its outputs. If your training data does not represent your users, the risk of generating biased, discriminatory, or harmful content increases significantly. To mitigate these risks, ask your AI data service provider to share their recruitment and sourcing processes, and consider the following traits to find suitable personnel for your generative AI data project:
- Expertise: Ensure candidates have relevant expertise, such as in computer science, machine learning, or related fields.
- Skill Proficiency: Evaluate candidates' programming skills, data analysis abilities, and experience with AI tools.
- Communication Skills: Look for candidates who can articulate ideas clearly and have strong problem-solving abilities for effective team collaboration.
- Ethical Awareness: Choose individuals highly sensitive to data privacy and ethics to ensure the project adheres to best practices and industry standards.
- Innovative Thinking: Seek talent with innovation and problem-solving skills to drive continuous project improvement and optimization.
- Teamwork: Assess candidates' ability to collaborate and adapt to ensure seamless integration with the existing team.
- Continuous Learning Attitude: Select individuals open to new technologies and methods, willing to learn constantly to keep the project competitive.
- Security Awareness: Ensure candidates understand and follow data security best practices to protect sensitive information.
Consider demographic factors such as age, gender, and occupation; geographic factors like location, culture, and language; and psychographic factors such as lifestyle (e.g., parents, students, or retirees), interests, and domain expertise or specialization in recruitment.
Next, ask your data service provider to explain how they proactively address bias and how they train resources or staff within the community to identify and remove bias. Regularly reviewing these data service processes can provide insights into why your model behaves as it does.
Resource Scalability
Revealing and addressing hallucinations or biases in generative AI models requires the ability to quickly integrate community resources to solve problems. If a model cannot support a specific region, you need to recruit and train personnel from that region to help solve the issue. Understanding the resources available from your AI data service provider today is crucial to ensuring they can meet your needs.
Training and fine-tuning generative AI applications often require increasingly specialized domain resources. Understanding how your data service provider can rapidly access, recruit, and scale new communities is equally important, if not more so.
Ongoing Resource Training and Support
Recruiting and acquiring the right resources is one challenge, but getting them up to speed and performing at a high level is another. As a client, it is important to remember that at the receiving end of any instructions or guidelines you provide is a person sitting at a desk, trying to understand your expectations from start to finish.
One of the most common mistakes we see clients make when working with AI data service providers is how they communicate instructions and guidelines to staff. In some cases, these instructions and guidelines can be 100 pages or more in length. If the instructions are not translated into a clear format that everyone can understand, you will quickly encounter quality issues and costly rework.
The ability of your data service provider to translate lengthy and complex guidelines into easily digestible training for new resources is crucial to success. Their ability to provide continuous, responsive support to the worker community preparing your AI training data is equally important. Ensuring you are satisfied with your AI data service provider's training and support plans is essential for the success of your generative AI training and fine-tuning projects.
Conclusion
Success in generative AI training or fine-tuning largely depends on the quality of AI training data. Partnering with an AI data service provider that values interpretability, diversity, and scalability can help you better address potential risks and create high-performing, user-engaging generative AI applications.
