Upcoming Hewlett Packard Labs Podcast: IoT Customers

Soumyendu Sarkar, Senior Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett Packard Labs discusses aspects of Trustworthy AI. Soumyendu discusses industry verticals where trustworthy AI is essential, relationship to security, and privacy and humans in the loop. He also relates trustworthiness to bias and to explainability. He concludes with his favorite hobby, computational photography.

Trustworthy AI

Anu Mercian and Diman Zad Tootaghaj, senior research scientist and research scientist at Hewlett Packard Labs discuss various aspects of deploying and using accelerators at Edge. They analyze a number of quantifiable indicators such as performance, scale, power, privacy and security, as well as qualitative, such as ease of development and flexibility. They explain major technical and regulatory challenges. They conclude with the topic of life-work balance, how they wind down from technology, and the importance of family

Accelerating Edge

In next episode of the Hewlett Packard Labs Podcast “From Research to Reality”, Dejan Milojicic and Soumyendu Sarkar talk Trustworthy AI. Sarkar, Senior Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett Packard Labs, discusses industry verticals in which trustworthy AI is essential. He delves into security and privacy and talks about how to always keep humans in the loop. What’s the relationship between trustworthiness, bias, and explainability? Sarkar will tell you. Since this tech podcast never ignores humanity, Sarkar about his favorite hobby, computational photography. 

Faraz Ahmed and Lianjie Cao, research scientists at Hewlett Packard Labs discuss aspects of orchestrating (managing) Edge. They compare edge vs data center orchestration and discuss ease of deployment as an orchestration use case. They explain major challenges in scaling and securing edge orchestration. They put their research in the context of HPE strategy and HPE products. They conclude with their favorite hobbies: hiking, badminton.  And hiking.

Orchestrating Edge

Sharad Singhal, Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise discusses OpenFAM, an open source software for Fabric Attached Memory. Sharad explains FAM’s benefits and how OpenFAM reliably supports FAM at scale. Sharad differentiates HPC applications from large memory applications supported by load-store memory interfaces. Sharad ends the podcast describing how he grew up listening to Apollo missions on radio, which has shaped his whole career. 

Open FAM

Pete Beckman, Senior Computer Scientist at Argonne National Lab. Pete presents his views of three convergences that are taking place: HPC and Cloud; HPC and AI; and AI at Edge. For each convergence, Pete discusses core technology, programming models, security, and privacy. Beside technology, Pete also reflects on the business and adoption angle. With diverse cultural heritage, Pete explains how he settled in Chicago, but continued traveling around the world. He concludes by giving us examples of the importance of inclusion and diversity. 

Fluid HPC

Kirk Bresniker, Fellow and VP in Hewlett Packard Enterprise addresses one of the most intriguing topics of ethics in AI. Kirk discusses its importance, benefits, and applicability. He explores end-to-end aspect of ethics in AI, its governance and opportunities for regulatory compliance. Kirk analyzes human in the loop and explainability of AI ethical decisions. He points out importance of organizations that drive the dialogue on regional and global ethics and AI and hints at future technologies that can enable better ethical decisions in AI.  Kirk concludes with his culinary skills.
