Between dozens of bookmarks on my browser and texts I send myself when I read something that I find fascinating, I found this article a nice summary of key advances in AI in just the first half of the year so far.

2023 has been a very busy year in the world of AI. OpenAI’s ChatGPT that rolled out to the public late in 2022 suddenly became the talk of town, competing perhaps only with Taylor Swift and the Eras tour.

Many research teams are rapidly building new real open-source models. We also see the creation of specialized Large Language Models (LLMs) including AutoML, an LLM for machine learning engineers themselves!

I am starting to read and learn more about issues related to AI Ethics. I think this is a very important topic especially when we talk about applications in the bio-medical and human-health space. Reading about artists going on strikes to claim ‘IP’ of their art and creativity makes me wonder if we as humans would one day ‘own the IP’ of our biological data that gets fed into ML models. Can data sets of our unique brain signals be considered personal or do as a society need to open them up to be shared for the greater good of all of us?

So many questions but for now I need to add another bookmark to the long list of links.
