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. 🦾

Meta’s recently-assembled superintelligence team is likely building a closed-source model, Bloomberg reports. The upcoming AI model, codenamed Avocado, is expected sometime in the Spring. Avocado is being constructed in part by leveraging several open source models — from Google, OpenAI, and Alibaba — a method called distillation. Historically, Meta built and released open-weight models that it could also use internally. By building a closed model similar to those offered by Anthropic and OpenAI, Meta could join the ranks of companies selling access to their AI technology.
