A History With AI
Anjanava (Anjan) Biswas has been a key figure in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in Applied AI, which focuses on bringing AI techniques into practical applications. With over sixteen years of professional experience in software engineering and cloud technology, Anjan works as a Senior AI Specialist Solutions Architect for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Holding numerous certifications, including the prestigious TOGAF® Level 2 and seven AWS certifications, his expertise is unparalleled.
Anjan’s influence extends beyond applied technology. He has been an active contributor to AI research, serving on the editorial boards of scientific journals and being named a peer-reviewer for the IEEE Access journal. Recognized for his excellence, he has risen to IEEE Senior Member, a position that demands nomination by senior peers or distinguished fellows. His accolades include fellowships from notable institutions like the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, and the British Computer Society (BCS), alongside luminaries like Tim Berners-Lee and Bill Gates.
Applying AI to the Real World
Applied AI is where AI technology meets real-world applications. This branch takes sophisticated AI techniques out of the lab and integrates them into everyday business processes. Anjan has made significant strides in this area, presenting at numerous national and international conferences, including the IEEE Cloud Summit Conference in Washington, DC.
One of the critical aspects of Applied AI that Anjan focuses on is generative AI safety and trust. In 2023, he published a groundbreaking paper titled “Guardrails for trust, safety, and ethical development and deployment of Large Language Models (LLM),” which laid the foundation for further research in this field. This work is instrumental in shaping AWS’s product, Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock, which helps organizations implement secure and trustworthy AI systems. Companies like RyanAir, Intuit, Toyota, and Thomson Reuters are some of the notable users of Amazon Bedrock, as reported by Forbes.
Recognized By His Peers
Anjan’s contributions have not gone unnoticed. He has received numerous awards, including the International Achievers’ Award by the Indian Achievers’ Forum, the Best Reviewer Award by the Journal of Computational Intelligence and Robotics, and the Titan Business Award. He is also a two-time recipient of the Globee Awards for his innovations in generative AI trust and safety.
Rahul Ranjan, Co-Founder and Managing Editor of The Science Brigade Publishers, praises Anjan saying, “Anjanava is an exceptional researcher whose dedication to peer-reviewing has been instrumental in elevating the quality of research published in our journals. His own research paper on multi-modal generative AI showcases his novel approach and is an outstanding contribution to the field.”
As AI continues to evolve, Anjan Biswas remains a prominent figure, pushing the boundaries of Applied AI and Machine Learning. His dedication to making AI systems safe, ethical, and trustworthy ensures that his work will inspire future innovations and set the stage for a smarter, safer future.
