1. Welcome to Red Hat AI Debate Towards Next Gen AI for Humanity Open Source as the trust mechanism in tinkering, learning and fueling AI creativity Harish Pillay 9V1HP @harishpillay@floss.social • h.pillay@ieee.org 1 Slides on speakerdeck.com
3. 3 https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/voyager-record-cover-446eb9/ Voyager Golden Record
4. 4 https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/voyager-record-cover-446eb9/ Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 Launched 5 Sep 77 20 Aug 77
5. 5 https://scienhttps://interestingengineering.com/science/nasas-interstellar-voy agers-45-yearsce.nasa.gov/image-detail/voyager-record-cover-446eb9/ Size Relative to Humans
6. Where are they today? 6 https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager/where-are-voyager-1-and-voyager-2-now/
7. Why do I show the Voyagers? 7
8. 8 https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/05/15/21/13545166-7032893-image-a-9_1557952307411.jpg
9. Human technology has left our heliosphere 9
10. 10 https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/voyager-record-cover-446eb9/ Voyager Golden Record tells whoever that captures it, that a form of intelligence sent it.
11. Now let’s get grounded on Earth and talk about GenAI 11
12. What is “intelligence” in the first place? 12
13. Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation. Jean Piaget
14. Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation. Jean Piaget 1896-1980
15. And what is “Artificial intelligence”? 15
16. Piaget’s “Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation.” Can AI show that?
17. As a society/culture, Humanity has norms, dos and don’ts 17
18. We scale up Humans from birth and at 18-21, we say you are READY to fly 18
19. The information imbibed from birth to about 21, becomes the “trusted” knowledge Humans run with minor tweaks over their lives. 19
20. In those formative years, as a society/culture, we curate/moderate what information is taught. 20
21. We have almost 100% provenance of the training data for those age groups 21
22. Let’s talk about Open Data and Open Source 22
23. Open Data https://opendatacommons.org ➔ The Open Definition 2.1: “Open data and content can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose” https://opendefinition.org/od/2.1/en/ 23 Part of Open Knowledge https://okfn.org/en/
24. Open Source ➔ https://opensource.org ➔ The Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd 24 Free Redistribution Source Code Derived Works Integrity of Author’s Source Code No Discrimination against Persons or Groups Distribution of License License Must Not be Specific to a Product License Must Not Restrict Other Software License Must Be Technology Neutral No Discrimination against Fields of Endeavour https://opensourcedefinition.org/
25. 25 Data Source Code of Models, Applications Value to Humanity
26. Now let’s look at Foundational Models for Generative AI 26
27. To build those Models, we need data, plenty of data, data of all types. Do you know where it is coming from? 27
28. Written, spoken language is what differentiates Humanity from the rest of nature.* 28 * Yes, this is a bold statement and do recognize non-verbal Humans
29. Human language is the source code of us - deprived of that, we are lost 29
30. 30 Data Source Code of Models, Applications Value to Humanity
31. Open Source AI ➔ v1.0 released in October 2024* that does not adequately address the criticality of access to data ➔ Not tenable nor usable for now** 31 * https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition ** https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-is-working-on-freedom-in-machine-learning-applications
32. Why, you ask? 32
33. Brings us back to “knowing the data was used to train the model” 33
34. For ethical and fair use reasons, training data has to be made freely available* 34 * Subject to and modulus privacy and PII considerations
35. 35 Data Source Code of Models, Applications Value to Humanity
