Safe For Humans AI

A "humans-first" approach to designing and building AI systems.

About the Book

We take a dive into both general architectures for safe, human-first AI as well as concrete examples of building applications with LLMs with both prompt engineering and fine-tuning. While I favor using self-hosted LLMs for the technical book examples, most can also be used with OpenAI and Hugging Face APIs.
