Artificial Intelligence

Share & Discuss AI tech, applications, standards, policy, predictions & fictions – incl related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Welcome to the Community

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Community, a group for people interested in AI & technology 🤖

The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.

This community explores AI technologies, AI (robotic) embodiments, AI applications, AI-human interactions, AI standards and policy, AI predictions and fictions – and their related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Share & discuss the latest research, techniques, and advancements in artificial intelligence, data science, data visualization, deep learning, machine learning, NLP, computer vision, ethics in AI, robotics, self-driving cars, paper discussions, daily AI news and more!  We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experience levels and offers a valuable “village square” for sharing ideas and opinions across the AI community. 🦾

This “next-gen” VS “this-gen” AI war sounds interesting… anyhow, looks like money just keeps flooding into this space! 

Anthropic raises $450M to build next-gen AI assistants

This “next-gen” VS “this-gen” AI war sounds interesting… anyhow, looks like money just keeps flooding into this space!  Anthropic raises $450M to build next-gen AI assistants Anthropic, the generative AI startup co-founded by OpenAI veterans, has raised $350 million in a funding round led by Spark Capital. https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/23/anthropic-raises-350m-to-build-next-gen-ai-assistants/

To a casual observer, OpenAI and Anthropic might have appeared—until recently—to be the Uber and Lyft of the #Artificial Intelligence world, with Anthropic the distant rival to the dominant OpenAI. That feels to be less the case nowadays. In fact, Anthropic—with its disciplined focus on serving businesses and expectations it will turn a profit several years before OpenAI does—is starting to look like a surer bet. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s appearance at The New York Times’ DealBook summit on Wednesday demonstrated why. Amodei came across as thoughtful in his approach to risk management, unlike an unnamed other person who, as Amodei put it, “constitutionally just wants to YOLO things.”

Anthropic C.E.O.: Massive A.I. Spending Could Haunt Some Companies

FT reports that the company has engaged law firm (and friends of the pod) Wilson Sonsini to help them prep for a massive IPO, which could land as early as Q1 2026. (Discussions remain “preliminary and information,” based on most accounts.) Anthropic is also reportedly seeking a new round of private funding, at a valuation that the media suggests could be above $300 billion. 
Of course, this puts them in something of an public offering showdown against OpenAI, which recently went on “Code Red Alert,” in an effort to catch Google and other rivals. (They are SLAMMING Mountain Dews right now.)

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!
