Thoughts from DHR Fintech Search Specialists.
AI is here – how might this affect your culture, performance, talent, risk and customer relations?
In this AI series, DHR will help navigate the implications in selecting your talent and highlight trends in the industry. Today we look at Bloomberg’s introduction of BloombergGPT, led by Shawn Edwards, Chief Technology Officer, and Gideon Mann, Head of Bloomberg’s ML Product and Research team.
In March, Bloomberg introduced BloombergGPT, a 50-billion parameter large language model, purpose-built from scratch for finance. Their research paper details the development of BloombergGPT, a new large-scale generative artificial intelligence (AI) model. This large language model (LLM) has been specifically trained on a wide range of financial data to support a diverse set of natural language processing (NLP) tasks within the financial industry.
“Large Language Models represent an enormous advancement in AI. The emergent properties of the models such as language understanding and reasoning will enable us to build new products that were out of reach before. Companies that master the use of LLMs will be the companies that win.”
Shawn Edwards, Bloomberg’s Chief Technology Officer
