Allen Institute teams up with AWS to build first-ever map of the brain

Just as the periodic table is foundational to chemistry and the Human Genome Project revolutionized modern genetics, researchers at the Allen Institute for Brain Science have teamed up with Amazon Web Services to create what could become a “transformative” new resource for the field of neuroscience. 

AWS on Wednesday announced its technology will support the Allen Institute as it builds a map of the human brain, called the Brain Knowledge Platform. This platform, the first of its kind, is designed to be a complete reference of individual cells in the brain, and should eventually serve as the world’s largest open-source brain cell database.  — Read More

Introducing Google’s Secure AI Framework

The potential of AI, especially generative AI, is immense. However, in the pursuit of progress within these new frontiers of innovation, there needs to be clear industry security standards for building and deploying this technology in a responsible manner. That’s why today we are excited to introduce the Secure AI Framework (SAIF), a conceptual framework for secure AI systems.

SAIF is inspired by the security best practices — like reviewing, testing and controlling the supply chain — that we’ve applied to software development, while incorporating our understanding of security mega-trends and risks specific to AI systems. — Read More

Leveraging FastAPI, OpenAI, and SQLAlchemy for Natural Language SQL Queries

SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for managing and manipulating relational databases. What if we could interact with databases using natural language queries?

In this post we show how you can use SQL to load a dataframe to a database, write a prompt to query it, and connect this to a FastAPI application for deployment and enabling users to interact with the database. — Read More
