This year in particular the agenda was packed full of interesting and relevant topics, ranging from human centric topics, to glimpses of what is coming on the DMN standard. All in all, a great conference! Thank you to the organizers for putting together such a strong line up of content.” Link

I wrote about ethics last week, and the difficulty of distilling ethical AI engineering into a few actionable principles. Marie Kondo, the famous expert on de-cluttering homes, teaches that if an item doesn’t spark joy, then you should throw it out. When building AI systems, should we think about whether we’re bringing joy to others?” Link
