Hey, I get where you're coming from. You're right that there are multiple types of AI out there, and I don’t get this, it can be hard to know which ones we can trust? Plus, we've all heard stories of AI making mistakes, like when facial recognition software misidentified people or when chatbots gave inappropriate responses.
When I talk about the benefits of AI, what I mean is that it has the potential to make our lives better in a lot of ways. For example, it could help doctors diagnose diseases more accurately or help farmers optimize crop yields. It could also make our devices and homes smarter and more intuitive, so we can save time and energy.
But I get it, it can sound like a lot of hype. It's true that there's no one central AI that we're tapping into, and we still have a lot of work to do to make sure that the AI we use is reliable and ethical.
In the open-source model of AI development, talented and expensive technologists who build AI models can still be paid for their work. However, the funding model would be different from the traditional approach of individual enterprises paying for the development of AI models.
One idea and probably the best, is for funding to come from government agencies or non-profit organizations that prioritize the development of AI for the greater good. For example, the US government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has a long history of funding AI research, and non-profits like the OpenAI Foundation and the Partnership on AI also invest in AI development.
Another way is for companies to contribute to open-source AI development as part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives. This would allow them to support the development of AI that benefits society as a whole, while also promoting their brand as socially responsible.
People who work on open-source AI projects can also be paid through alternative funding models such as grants or crowdfunding. For example, the grant-making organization Mozilla has provided funding for AI development through their Mozilla Fellowship program.
But don’t you think this technology is to great for advances in humanity to not have an open source for it, and if you have a product with integrated AI and you want to sell it, sure go ahead but not able to have open source for AI will create a close market and a poor utilization of the technology
