Calling all AI researchers in my network: if you want to earn some pre-Christmas elf points, please tell me what you think about journalistsโ coverage of AI topics in this short and sweet survey๐
โWe highlight 3 main affordances of โopenโ AI, namely transparency, reusability, and extensibility, and we observe that maximally โopenโ AI allows some forms of oversight and experimentation on top of existing models. We find that openness alone does not perturb the concentration of power in AI.โ
Support for at-risk researchers: 60 fully-funded fellowships (up to 24 months) for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers of any non-EU nationality to work at a research institution in the EU.
Tow Center analysis finds that publishers face the risk of their content being misattributed or misrepresented regardless of whether or not they allow OpenAIโs crawlers.
