Robert Kaczmarczyk: Breaking the Wall to democratised AI – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023
As artificial intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace, questions about its creators, owners, and accessibility have become paramount in our collective consciousness. The rapid transformation of our world by AI technology raises concerns about companies prioritising profit over ethical considerations. This focus on profit could lead to the privatisation of artificial intelligence, creating a monopoly that has the potential to impede societal progress. LAION, a nonprofit research entity and grassroots initiative, facilitates collaborative efforts among academic researchers, private enterprises, citizen scientists, and tech enthusiasts, striving to democratise large-scale AI research. At Falling Walls, Robert Kaczmarczyk from LAION e.V. will delve into the envisioned future of democratising AI, discussing the necessary steps that pave the way to this transformative reality
