The One About Secure AI for Enterprises (ft. Cohere)
As AI adoption accelerates, so does the need to build systems that are both powerful and safe, especially in multilingual, high-stakes environments. Join us to explore how organizations are developing secure, production-grade AI systems at both the platform and application layers.
More About the Sharings
Gabriel and Leanne (Data Scientists, GovTech AI Practice) will share more about LionGuard 2, a multilingual moderation classifier designed for Singapore’s linguistic context. Large language models and standard safety classifiers often underperform when handling low-resource languages and code-mixed inputs like Singlish, due to limited training and evaluation coverage. Hear more about how LionGuard 2 was built using lightweight, embedding-based architectures that support English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, and how it achieves state-of-the-art results on both public and local benchmarks without relying on heavyweight LLMs. He will also share how the team optimised for data efficiency, fast retraining, and CPU deployment, making it suitable for real-time production use in government systems.
