We are excited to announce that Datalayer has officially been awarded ISO/IEC 42001 certification, a significant milestone in our commitment to responsible AI governance and trustworthy AI deployment.

What is ISO/IEC 42001?​

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international, certifiable standard focusing on the governance of Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). AIMS refers to the interconnected set of policies and procedures that contribute to the oversight function necessary for regulating AI applications. The primary purpose of ISO 42001 is to help organizations build a structured AIMS and demonstrate trust among customers through the ethical and transparent development, deployment, and upkeep of AI systems.

By achieving this certification, Datalayer demonstrates that our AI governance framework aligns with international best practices, ensuring ethical AI development and deployment.

Certification Scope​

To achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification, an organization needs to define its role within the AI ecosystem. Organizations can be certified for one or more of the following roles:

• AI Producer: Responsible for designing, developing, testing, and deploying AI systems.
• AI Developer: Focuses on creating and implementing AI models, including model design, execution, verification, and validation.
• AI Provider: Supplies AI platforms, services, or products to other organizations.
• AI User: Utilizes AI technologies in its operations, leveraging AI-driven insights and automation.

Datalayer has been certified as an AI Provider under ISO/IEC 42001. This certification affirms our commitment to delivering reliable AI-driven solutions and services.

Why This Matters for Our Customers​

• Trust and Compliance: ISO/IEC 42001 certification validates that Datalayer follows a structured approach to managing AI risks and ethical concerns, enhancing trust in our AI solutions.
• Alignment with Global Standards: Businesses and organizations using AI must navigate complex regulatory landscapes. Our certification provides assurance that Datalayer’s AI solutions comply with international AI governance standards.
• Responsible AI Deployment: We are committed to continuous monitoring and improvement of our AI models, ensuring they remain ethical, reliable, and effective in real-world applications.

Thank You to Our Team and Customers​

We extend our gratitude to our incredible team for their dedication to responsible AI development. We also thank our customers for trusting us to deliver AI solutions that prioritize ethics, compliance, and transparency.

In the fast-evolving world of data science and AI, having the right tools and resources is critical for success. As datasets grow larger and computations more complex, data scientists need scalable, flexible, and reliable solutions to perform high-performance analyses. Datalayer allows you to scale your data science workflows with ease, thanks to its Remote Kernels solution. This feature enables you to run computations in powerful cloud environments directly from your JupyterLab, VS Code or CLI.

We have created a public GitHub repository with a collection of Jupyter Notebooks that showcases scenarios where Datalayer proves highly beneficial. These examples cover a wide range of topics, including machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and generative AI.

Explore the Datalayer Examples Collection​

Here are an overview of the examples available in the Datalayer public GitHub repository. To access the notebooks code, simply click on the links provided.

1. OpenCV Face Detection​

This example utilizes OpenCV for detecting faces in YouTube videos. It uses a traditional Haar Cascade model, which may have limitations in accuracy compared to modern deep learning-based models. It utilizes parallel computing across multiple CPUs to accelerate face detection and video processing tasks, optimizing performance and efficiency. Datalayer further enhances this capability by enabling seamless scaling across multiple CPUs.

2. Image Classifier with Fast.ai​

This example demonstrates how to build a model that distinguishes cats from dogs in pictures using the fast.ai library. Due to the computational demands of training a model, a GPU is required.

3. Dreambooth​

This example uses the Dreambooth method which takes as input a few images (typically 3-5 images suffice) of a subject (e.g., a specific dog) and the corresponding class name (e.g. "dog"), and returns a fine-tuned/'personalized' text-to-image model (source: Dreambooth). To do this fune-tuning process, GPU is required.

4. Text Generation with Transformers​

Those notebook examples demonstrate how to leverage Datalayer's GPU kernels to accelerate text generation using Gemma model and the HuggingFace Transformers library.

Transformers Text Generation​

This notebook uses Gemma-7b and Gemma-7b-it which is the instruct fine-tuned version of Gemma-7b.

Sentiment Analysis with Gemma​

This example demonstrates how you can leverage Datalayer's Cell Kernels feature on JupyterLab to offload specific tasks, such as sentiment analysis, to a remote GPU while keeping the rest of your code running locally. By selectively using remote resources, you can optimize both performance and cost. This hybrid approach is perfect for tasks like sentiment analysis via llm where some parts of the code require more computational resources than others. For a detailed explanation and step-by-step guide on using Cell Kernels, check out our blog post on this specific example.

5. Mistral Instruction Tuning​

Mistral 7B is a large language model (LLM) that contains 7.3 billion parameters and is one of the most powerful models for its size. However, this base model is not instruction-tuned, meaning it may struggle to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. By fine-tuning Mistral 7B on the Alpaca dataset using torchtune, the model will significantly improve its capabilities to perform tasks such as conversation and answering questions accurately. Due to the computational demands of fine-tuning a model, a GPU is required.
