How open source is steering AI down the high road
Briefly

At the Open Source Summit China, Jim Zemlin emphasized the global fascination with AI, stating, 'Everyone I've been talking to in China wants to talk about artificial intelligence (AI). Why should China be different from anywhere else?'
Zemlin highlighted the impactful initiatives of the Linux Foundation, mentioning, "In Beijing, I saw a talk from Alibaba [which] was creating an AI application for early detection of pancreatic cancer. This application is already saving lives in China by helping to detect pancreatic cancer as early as possible."
Discussing large language models, Zemlin noted, "Platforms such as Hugging Face are the clear leaders here. There's a whole ecosystem of open models that people can download and utilize, enabling developers to access a wide range of AI applications."
On AI safety, Zemlin explained, "Open-source development's transparent nature is particularly beneficial for addressing AI safety concerns. The Linux Foundation aims to combat issues such as content authenticity, privacy, and algorithmic bias by fostering collaboration on tools and standards."
