There are a lot of basics that has to be learn' t by each one of us not by being too busy but to also stick around and work together because we would not know what can happen at any time we can even turn out to be an organisation someday and i also make a toast to the founder of data alchemy for bringing everyone together this far 💯💯💯.

Founded in 1998, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a not-for-profit organization that defends the open source term. It is currently working on updating its definition to include open source AI. Open source generally means the software’s source code is available to everyone in the public domain to use, modify, and distribute. The real issue at hand here is the DATA that systems are being trained on. Most systems are not being transparent about it and not making their training data and methods available. https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/03/28/sorry-elon-grok-is-not-open-source-ai-heres-why-according-to-the-creator-of-the-definition

As an AI enthusiast that I am, some weeks ago I went to a talk about AI and its degree of intelligence and state of art, and since then I would like to share some concerns the conference left me with. The speaker was an AI specialist with around 40 years of experience on the field, so I'd trust him. One of the things that the speaker said was that the need of electricity AIs need is growing at huge rates and that is an environmental problem as solar, wind and other sources of green energy are not enough to power the growing amount of usage of AI. The other thing he said is that AI is not that intelligent yet and behind the curtain there are sweatshops and slave labour labelling data to allow AIs to perform. Speaking of concerns, he said that based on the actual power AIs have and their predictable development, future dystopian robots like terminator or robocop are ages away -if there will ever be- and that a rise-of-the-robots dystopian future is also out of reality. But about the first two, they are serious on my point of view and we should take into account and search for solutions to avoid building progress on oppression of the poor and the need, again. Have you ever thought about that? Does it concern you? Is there anybody aware of this and working on solutions?

It's my first year in college. I'm majoring in electronics but wanted to diversify and explore. Found out about this community through youtube and thought I should give this a try. Don't really have any prior knowledge other than python. Excited to grow each day :)

Hi all, I was hoping some may be able to share some advice. I have bought myself 8 months of time to focus on studies / upskilling myself and I hope to build some future proof employment skills - are there any general areas I could look to educate myself in, in the AI space? I do have experience in the accounting sector and I've recently been exploring data analytics, which excites me more than the traditional accounting stuff. Thanks in advance and any input would be appreciated!
