It's not enforceable , there are no sanctions, still it's a good thing some common norms and principles are agreed upon in this framework. Fully in line with the AI Act by the way. #AI #EU #europe

DisTrO sounds exciting, A new way to train large AI models that drastically reduces the need for super-fast internet connection, potentially allowing training on regular home computers and internet connections. The promise is that DisTrO cuts down the amount of data that needs to be shared between computers during pre-training and during fine-tuning with several magnitudes. But only a preliminary report , not a reviewed paper yet. #AI #training #distributed #DisTrO

Ik zag in het OV een student op zijn laptop statistiek opgaven maken met ChatGPT als hulpje, benieuwd hoe vaak dat inmiddels gebeurt (veel denk ik) , los van de vraag of dat nu slim is, ik denk dat het gebruik door scholieren/studenten niet moet worden onderschat. #ai #chatgpt #onderwijs

OpenAI will probably say anything to increase it's value, make it more attractive to partners, acquire funds to stay alive with their burn rate. So it sounds promising GPT-Next, 100x as powerful as GPT-4, but i believe it when i see it. #AI #GPTnext #openai #GPT4 image

Nvidia will encounter the inevitable slowdown , after their insane succes/growth, but why some people see that potentially as a bubble bursting totally escapes me. They have solid sales, solid profits, real money to spend. I would like to have such a bubble 😀 #AI #Nvidia

Generative AI is never only about using model X or Y, it's usually about a combination of technologies (not only LLMs), the specific implementation etcetera, so speaking in general terms whether generative AI has added value or not, is not that useful in my view. #AI #GenerativeAI #businesscase #ICT

This Amazon CEO describes the added value of generative AI for software development/maintenance, with numbers. Ofcourse he has a clear interest in selling his products, still it looks impressive, #ai #amazon #software #businesscase

""Laat de tomaten door een robot plukken. Die kan ook 's nachts werken en heeft veel minder vaak last van zijn rug." , mooi idee maar dan moeten ook de investeringen in ICT, AI, wetenschap, R&D fors omhoog lijkt me? (daar wordt op gekort) #politiek #migratie #AI #ICT #VVD #robotisering
