AI and Ethics: Navigating Bias and Fairness in Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence and Machine learning (AI/ML) is a hot topic in every business at the moment, and there is a growing dialog about what constitutes an Open Model, is it the weights? Is it the data?

Those are important questions, but equally important is ensuring that the tooling and frameworks to train, validate, fine-tune, and perform inference are open source. Storage systems are a crucial component of these workflows, how can open-source solutions address the needs for high capacity and high performance?

Data is key to any and all AI/ML workflows, without it there would be no data to use as an input for model training, re-evaluation and refinement of models, or even just securely storing models once training is complete, especially if they have taken weeks to produce!

Open source solutions like Ceph can provide almost limitless scaling capabilities, both for performance and capacity. In this webinar, learn how Ceph can be used as the backing store for AI/ML workloads.
We’ll cover:
• The demands of AI on storage systems
• How open source Ceph storage fits into the picture
• How to approach Ceph cluster scaling to meet AI’s needs
• How to get started with Ceph
