AI Prompt Injection explained, with video, slides, and a transcript 💉Insightful resource which discusses the security vulnerability of prompt injection in applications built on AI models. Prompt injection involves injecting unauthorized instructions into user input to manipulate an AI system's behavior. The potential implications are significant, including AI assistants being manipulated to leak confidential information. While the solutions are complex and challenging to implement, this resource emphasizes the importance of community awareness, discussion, and research to combat these vulnerabilities.

Binance on Why and How they use real-time Machine Learning to monitor fraudulent activity 🪙 Binance uses real-time machine learning to detect and prevent fraudulent activities on their cryptocurrency platform. To counter "model staleness" where predictions become inaccurate over time, they employ both batch and streaming data pipelines, with a particular emphasis on real-time (streaming) data. Their real-time machine learning pipeline comprises data processing and data serving components, incorporating stream computing, ingestion, and sinking for data processing and online prediction, and batch computing for data serving. Balancing data freshness and latency, the system supports continuous monitoring and protection in the 24/7 crypto market.

Prime Video significantly scaled up its audio/video monitoring service and reduced costs by 90% by transitioning from a distributed microservices architecture to a monolithic application 💸 The original serverless design led to scaling bottlenecks and high costs due to expensive AWS orchestration workflows and data transfer between distributed components. The new monolithic architecture, running on Amazon EC2 and Amazon ECS, simplified orchestration, eliminated the need for intermediate data storage, and improved scaling capabilities. This change also enhanced the overall customer experience by enabling monitoring of all streams. The experience highlights the importance of selecting between microservices and monolith architectures based on specific use-cases.

Upcoming MLOps Events
The MLOps ecosystem continues to grow at break-neck speeds, making it ever harder for us as practitioners to stay up to date with relevant developments. A fantsatic way to keep on-top of relevant resources is through the great community and events that the MLOps and Production ML ecosystem offers. This is the reason why we have started curating a list of upcoming events in the space, which are outlined below.
Check out our "MLOps Curriculum" from previous conferences:
Other relevant upcoming MLOps conferences:
-
-
MLConf - 30th March @ New York

Check out the fast-growing ecosystem of production ML tools & frameworks at the github repository which has reached over 10,000 ⭐ github stars. We are currently looking for more libraries to add - if you know of any that are not listed, please let us know or feel free to add a PR. Four featured libraries in the GPU acceleration space are outlined below.
- Kompute - Blazing fast, lightweight and mobile phone-enabled GPU compute framework optimized for advanced data processing usecases.
- CuPy - An implementation of NumPy-compatible multi-dimensional array on CUDA. CuPy consists of the core multi-dimensional array class, cupy.ndarray, and many functions on it.
- Jax - Composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs: differentiate, vectorize, JIT to GPU/TPU, and more
- CuDF - Built based on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format, cuDF is a GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating data.
If you know of any open source and open community events that are not listed do give us a heads up so we can add them!

As AI systems become more prevalent in society, we face bigger and tougher societal challenges. We have seen a large number of resources that aim to takle these challenges in the form of AI Guidelines, Principles, Ethics Frameworks, etc, however there are so many resources it is hard to navigate. Because of this we started an Open Source initiative that aims to map the ecosystem to make it simpler to navigate. You can find multiple principles in the repo - some examples include the following:
- MLSecOps Top 10 Vulnerabilities - This is an initiative that aims to further the field of machine learning security by identifying the top 10 most common vulnerabiliites in the machine learning lifecycle as well as best practices.
- AI & Machine Learning 8 principles for Responsible ML - The Institute for Ethical AI & Machine Learning has put together 8 principles for responsible machine learning that are to be adopted by individuals and delivery teams designing, building and operating machine learning systems.
- An Evaluation of Guidelines - The Ethics of Ethics; A research paper that analyses multiple Ethics principles.
- ACM's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct - This is the code of ethics that has been put together in 1992 by the Association for Computer Machinery and updated in 2018.
