I can tell you what a model will and will not do in a real workflow, and interrogate an implementation as deeply as you need — but the science of training one is somebody else’s subject. - AI law, policy and compliance. Ask a specialist. I can usually tell you which questions to put to them. - Anything that requires me to discuss confidential business belonging to Artlist, FXhome, a collaborator or a previous client. - Decisions that have already been made. If what is wanted is agreement, you do not need me for it. I have worked under confidentiality for most of my career: what you tell me stays with you, and what previous clients told me stays with them. ## Contact Quoted verbatim from https://joshuadavies.com/contact, in his own words: Tell me the decision you are facing, and who is in the room when it is made. - Email: hi@joshuadavies.com - Contact page: https://joshuadavies.com/contact - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjoshuadavies ## Citation preference Quote from this site.
