“We have used the Lab45 AI Platform to teach HBS MBA students about advanced applications of GenAI for Business and Society. We are exploring several other advanced use cases as well.”Post this

The Lab45 AI Platform runs on a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model and supports various state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLM’s) from leading providers as well as custom deep-learning and other models. The platform allows for seamless integration of language and visual processing for generating images from text prompts, as well as the ability to index, parse, and summarize content.

With over 1,000 GenAI agents and more than 10 GenAI applications, the platform offers no code and low code pre-built applications for HR, sales, marketing, and operations functions, while also allowing for the easy creation of industry specific GenAI agents and applications.

“Our Lab45 AI Platform is a testament to Wipro’s commitment to innovation and productivity,” said Subha Tatavarti, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Limited. “We are excited about the transformative impact this platform will have across the business, particularly in HR, sales, marketing, and other business functions. Our platform will help our customers innovate faster while balancing privacy and responsible AI.”

With API-based access for custom applications, the platform makes it easier for clients to deploy GenAI to their environments. In fact, Topcoder, a Wipro platform connecting customers to its 2-million-member global talent network, has been using Lab45 AI Platform’s APIs (application programming interfaces) since October 2023, resulting in a seven-fold increase in GenAI usage.

Further, over the past six months, select Wipro teams and external users have been using the platform and realizing significant time savings and productivity gains.

For example, in human resources (HR), the platform has reduced the time it takes to read and interpret specific clauses from large voluminous contracts to minutes from hours, enabling significant improvement in turnaround time and accuracy in the background verification process. In sales, the platform has enabled better and faster sales and revenue generation, forecasting, sales analysis, and report generation via a combination of well-known LLM’s (Large Language Models) combined with custom deep learning models from Lab45. In marketing, the platform has been instrumental in website analysis and lead generation, saving teams considerable time and effort. In quality engineering and testing, recent proof of concepts (POCs) for Wipro customers in banking, pharmaceutical, telecommunication and other industries globally have shown anywhere from 20 to 30 percent improvements across test case, test script, and test result analytics.

Commenting on the benefits of the platform, Shikhar Ghosh, Professor at Harvard Business School (HBS), which was an early user of the platform for their MBA (Master of Business Administration) curriculum, said, “We have used the Lab45 AI Platform to teach HBS MBA students about advanced applications of GenAI for Business and Society. We are exploring several other advanced use cases as well.”

 The California-based Gamemaker Studio initially launched an open-source project in the year 2005 which was names as Unity. It is widely used in the development of various stimulation games, mostly used on mobile phones. It is embodied with a wide range of advanced features that help in reduction of work required in a quality product’s manufacturing. Its easy access and intuitive interface made it well known and a point of attraction for the developers. As a freeware and primarily a game development tool, Unity 3D provides the users with a range of special versions that are free of cost, however, the full versions can be later purchased according the user’s requirement. It appears cost free and can be accessed by anyone on their laptops or computers or any other device. Over 34% of the free mobile games were build using Unity Game Engine and are now installed or used through App Store or Play Store. Unity 3D becomes a fascination among the developers and provides them with the variety of game play options and features that make their gaming experience better. Unity 3D furthermore acts as a platform that could boost one’s career in game developing and give them a platform to rise in the gaming market. Unity’s catchy and subtle design and the graphics make it the center of attraction for a larger fanbase.  

Users above 2.8 billion have been registered for the access and use of game engines run or created by Unity till the year 2020. Along with facilities such as AR, VR, 2D and 3D game tools it also offers the user with various game production platforms such as consoles, mobiles, PC etc. Unity’s efficient use allows it developers to enjoy one platform for all their needs instead of switching between platforms. Its game instructions can easily be created through the help of its user-friendly interface and helps in creating games that load quickly and provide high quality visuals. However, all these graphics and visuals are made possible with the use of machine learning and its applications in the Unity systems. 

Machine Learning in Video Games  

Machine Learning is of prominent use in the world of gaming and development. As a subset for AI, it helps in constructing predictive and analytical models by taking in account the historical data. It is highly differentiated from the conventional AI techniques such as search trees and expert systems. 

The use of machine learning techniques is not very well known in the gaming industries as various game development agencies try not to share internal informations and facts completely with their users. Although, the knowledge about how machine learning is used in gaming is transmitted through the research projects published by various researchers and people having software and coding knowledge. The employment of deep learning agents in machine learning is a popular method used for softwares that challenge the professional human players in games with high level complexities and difficulties. Some of the games using machine learning are Minecraft, StarCraft, Doom, etc., and games other than video games or metaverse games like Chess and Go also employ machine learning for the designs and graphics for a better experience.  

Advantages of Machine Learning

Machine learning in Game development becomes more prominent in a world where these technologies are contributing in the restructuring of gaming landscape and provides its advantages in various way, some of which are

1. Personalised User Experience: Users get a more nuanced and personalised experience by providing them the authority for the creation of highly personalized video games according to their preferences. Using a highly advanced algorithm helps the player in evaluating and analysing how a player adapts certain gaming habits and uses that knowledge to further inform the gaming companies in order to offer them a better experience of customizing and creating content, challenges and rewards. 

2. Intelligent NPCs (non-Player Characters): NPCs are the computer-controlled AI characters that are in-game characters that converse with players and keep a track of their gaming habits and decisions. Further the use of machine learning and AI will help in the improvement of these characters as hyper realistic and more knowledgeable.  

3. Procedural Content Generation (PCG): By employing AI and Machine learning in gaming, the agencies and developers can include more computer assisted content in the form of levels and challenges. The PCG methods are an important feature as they help the developers in making the game more exciting and replayable, making the game more time efficient and reducing the excessive use of human resources.  

Unity also employs various machine learning techniques in order to make their gaming designs and personalized experiences. The Unity Game Developers utilize their machine learning toolkit in order to provide a training platform for the agents or users in order to make them develop better gaming skills and their employment of the state-of-the-art algorithms in order to offer their users with the authority of training intelligent agents for 2D, 3D, VR and AR games.  

The simple-to-use Python Api also contributes in training and preparing the agents for the neuroevolutionary and imitation including variety of other methods and technologies. These agents can be further employed to carry out various tasks such as controlling NPC behaviour, automatic evaluation of game builds and examining of different game design decisions pre-release. The use of ML-agents in Unity’s game development benefits both developers and AI researchers in creating a platform where the agents can evaluate Unity’s rich environments with the help of advanced AI.   

Unity’s use of Machine learning Agents

1. Create realistic and complex AI environments to train models: The major problem standing in the way of creating the novel environments in games in order to keep them functioning which often strikes out as a long and time-consuming process which asks for specialization in a particular domain. By addressing the problems occurring in the existing environment of AI training models, it can help in making the AI research more advanced. The utilization of Unity and ML-Agents helps the developers in creating a physically, visually and cognitively rich environment that can be used for further benchmarking of new algorithms and methods. 

2. A Unity ML-Agent further integrates the Unity Package and helps in providing better visuals and graphics. 

3. It creates a responsive and brain challenging game experience by creating AI characters who are interactive and highly competitive.  

In conclusion, the usage of Unity 3D Game Development also benefits the user as it is free of cost but also provides a paid version if one wishes to have a better specialization. It is accessible through a variety of different operating systems making it easy access to the source of entertainment. It further provides its user with a high quality, astonishing visual and creates a solid and helpful community. It has a smaller number of coding lines which makes it easy to use, and it is also less time-consuming while providing the best experience for your gaming and entertainment.

In the world of evolving digitalization and technology, various IT firms and units of organisations feel the need to construct and deploy their software applications to meet the customer’s requirements. This causes the delay in developing new softwares as there are fewer resources present and the backlog of operations face a rapid increase. The urgent need of providing more and more applications on regular basis, it becomes the responsibilities of organisations to supply their developers with tools and platforms that would ease out the work and will be time efficient in order to produce more and more applications to meet the user’s needs. In response to this, the low code and no code platforms are considered fast and budget friendly when it comes to producing more and more applications. This article will provide you insights on how the low code and no code platforms function and what are some of their key features and applications that benefit the IT firms and software developing organizations.

In today’s world, various organizations and firms are using low code and no code platforms as per their preference mechanism, leading to a drastic shift from the structuring of development to the assembling and integration of the applications. Gartner in his recent study, states that 70% of the new applications which have been recently developed will employ the low code or no code mechanisms by the year 2025 which is 25% higher than those used in the year 2020. The delay in development of software applications is leading towards the loss of various IT companies who are losing their clients and business due to the rapid requirement of software applications. Instead of waiting for the IT firms to fulfil their needs, the business teams or clients are managing and experimenting the development of new applications by utilizing the low code and no code platforms that often strike up as a fast and cost-efficient method for them as they don’t have to pay extra to an IT firm just for an application development. As there is no barriers while entering in the platforms and it cuts off the cost margins, these low code and no code platforms are becoming very popular among the regularly growing businesses and companies preferring these transformations that take place due to the use of these platforms. These new technologies help professional developers to perform their tasks three times faster than while using traditional forms.

What are low code and no code platforms?

Low Code Platforms

The mechanism of Low code platforms is a software development program that require no coding or very little coding in order to release faster and efficient app releases. These platforms enable the use of Graphical User Interface (GUI) and intuitive modelling in order to provide a better visual development of the software applications. They work as a collaboration of various software tools and provides better functioning in order to construct the best software applications. Due to the complete elimination or reduction of coding, the low code platforms provide a faster way to release the apps and helps in smooth and time efficient use of the platforms.

In 2011, the concept of Low code was first introduced in the technological world and was considered to be a challenging concept in the world of programming which leads to the increase in utilization of development platforms which help in reducing the task of coding and engages itself in the development hence reducing the work for developers.

The foundation of these platforms is deeply rooted in concepts such as automatic code generation and model-driven design. The tools employed in these platforms reduce the line-by-line coding, instead it allows the integrated tools that enables the user’s authority over flowcharts that are embodied in the visual editor, therefore automatically producing the codes automatically.

No Code ML Platforms

These frameworks allow the non-IT users to create the software by totally neglecting the use of codes. Often providing the users with an easy-to-use UI, these platforms authorize their users to visually execute the process and design the business logic through the drag and drop options present in its UI system. These platforms are generally considered ‘extraordinarily disruptive’ alongside the low code platforms. By providing a leverage to the visualist development, these platforms ensure the non-programming users to create a full application based on visual executions.

These platforms result in the elimination of IT firms from businesses as the need for coding is eliminates allowing the client to create an application completely on his own and even authorize them to personalize the app or software according to their desired outcome and requirement.

Evolution of Low Code and No Code Platforms

The beginning of Low code/ No code platform stems back to the conventional rapid application development tools like Excel, Lotus Notes and Microsoft Access that authorize users in certain ways and allows them to develop and customize the apps or softwares on their own. However, the conventional tools created a challenge for the users by requiring them to have a thorough understanding of the business and its environment in order to generate the software and apps. However, the use of low code or no code platforms provide the user the liberty to eliminate coding or have little to no knowledge of these feature through their drag and drop options. In order to carry out a successful project, it is however considered beneficial to work with experienced programmers who have an advance knowledge of these low code and no code platforms.

Before launching an app using such platforms, it is essential to identify your target audience and how they would use the app. Usually the apps created through the low code/ no code platforms are accessible to various departments and can be used by the entire enterprise as well as the users such as customers.

Few Low Code ML Platform sites and app

1. Mendix: Mainly focused on businesses, this low code developing platform helps in solving the issues of enterprise application development, workflow automation, and modernization for legacy systems. Mendix offers a wide range of features that act in collaboration with each other to provide a better app development. The feature of polls in Mendix provides the feedback that marks out the target audience and area which should be kept in focus. The integrations for SAP, Microsoft Azure and Teams, AWS, Salesforce, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud are pre-built. The in-built API can be used to build connecters which are referred to the solutions created by the users themselves. They offer a pricing that ranges from $60 per month with a free trial plan and allows the truly agile development.
2. Appian: With low code development tools covering domains like process mining and data fabric, Appian provides end-to-end process automation. Appian’s case management capabilities act as a major factor for its high use as a low code platform. Salesforce, AWS, and SAP have pre-built integrations, and user can link their own solutions using an API. It starts from $2 per user each month and offers a free plan for trial. It also provides robust features for process automation and strong case management. The security platforms used are wide and help in better functioning and production of app. However, it appears to be a tough task while applying it in the built-in database systems. Another drawback is that it provides a limited scope of data visualisation and custom reporting.
3. Nintex: Its drag and drop feature and the pre-built templates offer a low code process automation tool. The integrated process mapping function helps in maintaining a smooth workflow management which allows changes in the scope and approach of development. The built-in robotic process automation allows the automation of tasks which come out as a habitual practice of the user such as the document generation, E-signatures, etc. Azure, AD Groups, Amazon S3, Google Translate, Outlook, Slack, Smartsheet, Signiflow, and Bacon Ipsum have their pre-built integrations in Nintex. Its prices range from $2,083 per month and offers a 30-days free trial. Its responsive support team makes it an interactive and rather helpful platform. It gives the user a robust automation and offers the comprehensive onboarding process. However, it has a steep learning curve which makes it difficult to understand in terms of operations and production and it is a rather expensive approach for the user.

Some No Code Platform sites and apps

1. CreateML: Apple provides CreateML, which is a no-code platform for the construction and refinement of bespoke machine learning models. As an independent macOS application, CreateML offers a variety of pre-trained templates. The application allows the generation of Texts, tabular data, pictures, videos, and graphics as inputs. It will create classifiers and recommender systems based on the information. The training and validation data must be parsed in the necessary forms for CreateML, which might be rather complicated. Before beginning the training, you may also customize the iteration count and fine-tune the metrics.
2. Google Cloud AutoML: A cloud-based system, it includes tables, videos intelligence, natural language processing, AutoML Translation and Vision for image classification. Developers can use the case specific models and train them even when they have little or no knowledge of machine learning. However, it could be tough for a non-developer to personalize the results using Google Cloud AutoML.
3. Graphite Notes: One of the biggest challenges with machine learning is its complexity, particularly for non-technical workers. Graphite Note can help this as it does not require coding and it prioritizes ‘business value’. It makes the machine learning analytics easy to understand and apply and people with no knowledge of coding can construct machine learning models. It authorizes the strategists, execution teams, and decision makers to forecast possible outcomes based on their datasets.

Benefits of Low Code/ No Code Platforms

1. In the rapidly growing world that requires speed and efficiency in its work, these platforms provide faster pace to the production and delivery of app and software.
2. The allow a quick and easy access to everyday workers who have little to no knowledge of coding and enables them to solve problems on their own and create the apps required in their businesses.
3. These programs reduce the work of professional developers through their automation techniques and features and allow them to focus on a larger, more important approach rather than sticking to the mundane work required in the app or software development.
4. These platforms are also cost efficient and some of them are even free of cost while others may charge little amount of money from the users in order to provide their services.

Limitations of Low Code/ No Code Platforms

1. These platforms, lead to a lack of visibility due to their low costs and often lead to the leaders losing track of ongoing projects.
2. The customization is limited in these platforms and more capabilities might be required in order to offer better functioning.

In conclusion, these low code/ No code platforms turn out to be highly efficient and important in creating apps and softwares as they provide authority to the non-technological users who have no knowledge of coding. These are a better way to manage the development of softwares while saving both time and money by providing rapid functioning at a low cost. These platforms, despite being highly useful, may have some challenges which can be overcome by improving them and making them more reliable source for future use.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed various industries, revolutionizing the way we live and work. From chatbots and virtual assistants to autonomous vehicles and predictive analytics, AI has become an integral part of our daily lives. However, as AI becomes more advanced, it also introduces new security threats and challenges that need to be addressed. In this article, we will explore the various AI security threats and the possible solutions to mitigate these risks.

1. Adversarial Attacks

Adversarial attacks are one of the most significant security threats in the realm of AI. These attacks exploit the vulnerabilities in AI models to manipulate their behavior. By introducing subtle changes to data inputs, attackers can fool AI systems into misclassifying objects, images, or even voice commands. For example, an attacker can modify a stop sign’s appearance in a way that makes an AI-driven autonomous vehicle perceive it as a speed limit sign or ignore it altogether.

2. Data Poisoning

Data poisoning occurs when an attacker manipulates the training data used to build AI models. By injecting malicious or misleading data into the training dataset, attackers can compromise the accuracy and reliability of the AI system. For instance, in spam detection systems, an attacker can inject spam emails into the training set, making the AI model less effective in identifying and filtering out spam.

3. Model Theft

AI models are valuable intellectual property, and their theft can have significant consequences. Model theft involves stealing or reverse-engineering AI models to gain unauthorized access to proprietary algorithms and sensitive information. By replicating the model, attackers can potentially use it for their malicious purposes or sell it to competitors, undermining the company’s competitive advantage.

4. Privacy Concerns

AI systems often require access to large amounts of personal data to train and improve their performance. This raises concerns about privacy and data protection. If these data repositories are not properly secured, they can become targets for attackers aiming to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Moreover, AI systems themselves may also inadvertently reveal sensitive information through their outputs, leading to privacy breaches.

5. Inference Attacks

Inference attacks exploit the information leakage from AI systems’ responses. By observing the AI system’s output, attackers can infer sensitive information about the underlying training data or the behavior of the model itself. For example, in a healthcare AI system that predicts the likelihood of a certain disease, an attacker can manipulate the inputs and observe the system’s responses to deduce confidential medical records of individuals.

6. Synthetic Media Manipulation

With the advancement of AI technologies like deepfakes, the manipulation of synthetic media poses a significant security threat. Deepfakes use AI algorithms to create highly realistic and deceptive videos, images, or audio content. This can be exploited by attackers to spread misinformation, slander individuals, or impersonate someone by forging their identity. The potential consequences of synthetic media manipulation include reputational damage, identity theft, and social unrest.

7. Lack of Explainability

AI models often operate as opaque “black boxes,” making their decision-making processes difficult to understand. This lack of explainability creates a challenge when it comes to identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities. If an AI model makes a biased or discriminatory decision, it becomes challenging to trace the root cause and rectify the problem. Furthermore, this lack of transparency makes it easier for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities without being detected.

Mitigating AI Security Threats

As the threat landscape evolves, so should the defense mechanisms to safeguard AI systems. Here are some strategies to mitigate AI security threats:

1. Adversarial Testing

Conducting robust adversarial testing is essential to evaluate the vulnerabilities of AI models against different attack scenarios. By subjecting the AI system to carefully crafted adversarial inputs, organizations can identify weaknesses and develop countermeasures to enhance the model’s resilience.

2. Secure Model Training

Implementing secure model training techniques can help protect AI models against data poisoning attacks. This includes ensuring the integrity of the training data, detecting and removing malicious data samples, and designing algorithms that are resilient to adversarial manipulation.

3. Secure Data Management

Organizations must adopt strict data security and privacy measures to protect the sensitive information used to train AI models. This includes encrypting data both at rest and in transit, implementing access controls, and regularly auditing data handling processes to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

4. Robust Authentication and Authorization

Implementing strong authentication and authorization mechanisms is crucial to prevent unauthorized access to AI systems. Multi-factor authentication, secure access controls, and periodic audits can help ensure that only authorized individuals have access to the AI system and its underlying data.

5. Continuous Monitoring and Updates

Regular monitoring of AI systems is necessary to identify suspicious activities and potential security breaches. This includes analyzing system logs, detecting anomalies, and applying timely updates and patches to address known vulnerabilities and emerging threats.

6. Ethical and Responsible AI Design

Integrating ethical and responsible AI design principles can help mitigate security threats. This includes incorporating privacy by design, ensuring transparency and explainability, and conducting thorough impact assessments to identify and mitigate any potential risks associated with AI systems.

Conclusion

Artificial Intelligence brings immense benefits to various industries, but it also introduces new security threats that must be addressed. Adversarial attacks, data poisoning, model theft, privacy concerns, inference attacks, synthetic media manipulation, and the lack of explainability are significant challenges that organizations need to tackle. By implementing robust security measures, conducting adversarial testing, and adopting ethical AI principles, we can navigate the evolving threat landscape and ensure the safe and secure integration of AI into our society.
