Worth reading (and implementing) …
🚨 Europe Must Act Now: A Call for a ‘CERN for AI’ 🚨 The world is moving fast in AI, and Europe risks falling behind. The U.S. is making massive investments in AI infrastructure, and China is rapidly advancing in generative AI—meanwhile, Europe faces a triple threat: 🔹 Loss of strategic sovereignty – Dependence on foreign AI tech like ChatGPT & NVIDIA makes Europe vulnerable. 🔹 Loss of cultural sovereignty – AI models reflect the priorities of their creators—are Europe's values represented? 🔹 Loss of economic competitiveness – Without decisive action, European industries risk stagnation in the AI revolution. To safeguard our future, CAIRNE (formerly CLAIRE) calls for a bold, coordinated effort: a ‘CERN for AI’—a European hub for AI research and innovation that ensures trustworthy, safe, and sustainable AI made in Europe, along with 6 steps for building such a major hotbed for AI talent, research and innovation. 📢 Read our open letter: #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Europe #CERNforAI #Innovation #TechSovereignty #FutureofAI

Tja, die @TUDarmstadt ist halt schon ein richtig guter Laden … genau wie die @RWTH, die sicherlich ebenfalls einiges damit zu tun hat, dass Aachen auf Platz 4 gelandet ist - nur knapp hinter München, Berlin und Heidelberg. 💫
Klasse! 🤩 Darmstadt gehört zu den Top Fünf der Gründerstädte in Deutschland. 🎉

@cooltechtipz Beautiful and effective. Somewhat sadly, none of this is needed anymore, once volume is measured using the metric system … 😉

Worth reading, especially for non-AI-experts!
Excellent discussion by @annargrs on the possible meanings of "emergent properties" of large language models:

Interesting and, if true, quite disturbing: “Microsoft recently introduced a feature into the pre-release version of Windows that surreptitiously captured your screen every few seconds.” - apparently to collect training data for GenAI …

Indeed, and I believe he's 100% correct. The article is a good read and especially recommended to anyone about to invest in or deploy GenAI solutions.

Some of you know that when I'm not busy with my day job(s) in #AI, I passionately pursue my interest in music. In case you've never had a chance (or simply like) to listen to the heckelphone, check this out: I had a blast performing that night …

Indeed. This wasn't too hard to see coming … surprising that Google didn't.
Google’s weird AI answers hint at a fundamental problem
