The November call was held on Friday, November 17, 2023. The OODA Network was joined at this month’s meeting by OODA Network Member and CEO of Vectara Dr. Amr Awadallah to lead a discussion designed to help us all better understand the state of AI today, ways to quantify/measure the likelihood of hallucination in a LLM and ways the community is building solutions to mitigate risk, and details about how Vectara is enabling developers to make AI safe for the enterprise.

About the OODA Network Monthly Meeting

OODA hosts a monthly video call to help members optimize opportunities and reduce risk to discuss items of common interest to our membership. These highly collaborative sessions are always a great way for our members to meet and interact with each other while talking about topics like global risks, emerging technologies, cybersecurity, and current or future events impacting their organizations. We also use these sessions to help better focus our research and better understand member needs.

To encourage openness of discussion, these sessions take place with Chatham House rules, where participants are free to use the information in the meeting but are asked not to directly quote or identify other participants (we also keep privacy in mind when preparing summaries of these sessions, like the one that follows).
