The European Union is backing a significant AI initiative, OpenEuroLLM, in a bid to counter the dominance of Silicon Valley and China in synthetic intelligence.
The initiative is being led by Jan Hajič, a computational linguist at Charles College in Czechia, and Peter Sarlin, co-founder of Silo AI.
“The fashions that OpenEuroLLM will construct might be absolutely open, to use the benefits of Open Supply which were so profitable in software program improvement previously,” Hajič informed InfoWorld. This method will enable the fashions to adjust to EU rules extra simply, he mentioned, including that so-called open fashions from outdoors the EU are both solely partially open (for instance, simply the mannequin weights), or there isn’t any transparency about their provenance, making it unimaginable to make sure whether or not they’re unbiased.
