Google, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg say their AI is open source, but the new definition may challenge that. advertisementGenerative artificial intelligence (AI) companies like Meta's Llama and Elon Musk's Grok claim to be open source, but many disagree about what open source AI is. A new working definition of what the term means for AI could change that, and was recently released by the Open Source Initiative (OSI), the self-appointed custodian of the term. Open source generally means that the software's source code is in the public domain and available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.The OSI open…

Have you ever read something in the news like, “Oh, guys!” or something like that? No, I’m not talking about the presidential election. The Wall Street Journal had an article this week about employers using artificial intelligence to determine if executives are at risk for dementia. Here's the link, but you may need a paid subscription to access it. Indeed, in some ways this technology seems quite impressive: an AI can apparently determine whether a person is at risk from the way they speak, long before a human doctor can diagnose the illness. While I was impressed with the advances…
