  <p>
    <b>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Analyst QuickTake: </b>
    The addition to the AWS marketplace is likely to further expand Demandbase&rsquo;s global growth, which builds on the 
    <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/8616">
      strong growth it experienced
    </a>
     in 2021. This growth potential reflects the growing popularity of ABM amongst marketing teams, which Demandbase is well positioned to capitalize on, given its early-mover advantage in the ABM space as well as the acquisitions it made in 2021 to become an all-in-one marketing solution.

<div>
 <p>LatticeFlow, an AI model evaluation platform, has introduced Compl-AI, a unique evaluation framework to check compliance with the EU AI Act. Available as a free, open-source architecture, the system analyses large language models (LLMs) over 27 technical fields, based on the Act's six ethical guidelines.</p>
 <p>The Compl-AI platform evaluates LLM responses across aspects like bias in responses, general awareness, prejudiced conclusions, adherence to harmful instructions, truthfulness, memorization of copyrighted information, common sense logic, goal manipulation, and prompt leakage. Each model's rating scales from 0 (non-compliant) to 1 (fully compliant), with N/A ratings in case of inadequate data.</p>
 <p>Moreover, the platform reveals the drawbacks of current models and benchmarks, specifically in areas such as robustness, safety, diversity, and fairness. LatticeFlow also suggests that this method could be adapted to review AI models against future regulatory laws, making it a beneficial tool for organizations operating in various jurisdictions.</p>
