🔴Live: @Gimpelle at #GlobalTechSummit: "If you look at LLMs, they might become like a foundational infrastructure other applications are building up on, like a downstream use of those foundational models, and I think it's important that these are as open as possible to inspire innovation and competition, because that ultimately also benefits quality."

Attending Wolf's @huggingface talk at @appliedmldays #AMLD on their huge investments to create an Open Source LLM. I am very frustrated that the talk did not mention at all the likely misuses for mass disinformation, hate speech, bullying & war mongering by rogue entities.

Shocked and speechless by the news of WAR in Europe & thinking of my Ukrainian colleagues, their families and everyone affected by this barbarous act. Let's stand in solidarity❤️& be careful not to become agents of Russian #disinformation campaigns #solidarityWithUkraine

Incredible proud to see this kicking off! Almost 3 y ago we started to explore how to build an open corpus of Kinyarwanda voice data to develop speech technology 4 digital inclusion from it. And we did so with a hackathon! @mozilla @KellyJayDavis @_josh_meyer_ @danbru8 @jankrewer
Imagine a world where you can do anything online by speaking Kinyarwanda. We are proud to announce the first Kinyarwanda DeepSpeech Hackathon that will take place in Kigali on 26-27 February, 2022. Learn more and register:kinyarwandavoice.com/

This is EU bubble humor at its finest! There’s a Spotify #DSA Playlist by no other than @ThierryBreton (ok if we’re being honest his comms advisor @Mr_Zakka but still), with its titles lining up to a literal speech. I can’t. open.spotify.com/playlist/68…

Applications are open through Feb 17 for PhD students and early career researchers from selected African countries for the @AI4Dev scholarships from @ACTSNET. These scholarships are for scholars to advance their skills in AI and machine learning research: acts-net.org/ai4d-scholarshi…
This is basically all I research/practice: Short answer - Big NO. We still have not translated agreed 🌎 human right norms fully in digital age. Before we go inventing magical new “data” rights and what not, let’s adequately apply the 70 + years of precedents we already have
Timely question. In my view, it depends what we mean by "new" - derivative rights? Reinterpretations of existing rights? Positive support for traditionally "negative" rights? New rights entirely? To what end?
