France's ambition for AI unveiled! 🇫🇷 The insights provided in the recent report published by the Commission de l'IA shed light on France's ambitious plans for #AI, setting the stage for the advancements in the field. Let's explore some key takeaways. 🔍 Main recommendations of the Commission: 1. Foster collective ownership: launching a national awareness and training plan to ensure everyone is equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by AI. 2. Powering up computing: positioning France and Europe as key players in computing power, an essential infrastructure for AI advancement on the global stage. 3. Data transformation: rethinking our approach to personal data to strike a balance between protection and #innovation, essential for fueling AI progress. 4. Embrace experimentation: encouraging a culture of experimentation in public AI research to foster innovation and attract top talents. 💡 Data: unlocking potential Data lies at the heart of AI innovation, and it's imperative to rethink our approach. Key takeouts specifically on data access: - Redefine CNIL - Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés's goals: introducing innovation as CNIL’s goal alongside #dataprotection to facilitate advancements in AI. - Facilitate data access: streamlining processes and reducing time for response to unlock the full potential of AI. - Collective governance: exploring new models for common #datagovernance to ensure fair access and innovation while upholding personal data protection. - Public data accessibility: Addressing the gap in access to public data to harness its transformative power across various sectors. In the words of the report, "Restricting access to data leads to restricting innovation and its benefits." At Sarus (YC W22), we are on a journey to unleash the full potential of AI while keeping all sensitive data safe - contact us to know more! #FranceAI

1/ The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) recommends in a report that the U.S. government should not regulate or restrict the release of open-source AI models for now to promote innovation and access to the technology. 2/ Instead, the government should continually assess the risks and opportunities of open-source models, build the capacity to respond quickly when needed, and intervene in the future when restrictions are warranted. 3/ In particular, the report cites "open-weight" models with at least ten billion parameters, which can be flexibly adapted and therefore pose a serious risk to public safety and health. However, they also offer the greatest benefit for individual customization, e.g. for businesses.

At #Palantir, we are proud to provide the institutions serving our societies with the software platforms they need to make responsible and effective use of their data. We believe the procurement of software technologies, including advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, should similarly conform to standards and practices that promote responsible adoption and, ultimately, reliable and effective mission impact. To that end, Palantir recently shared its views with the Office of Management and Budget’s Request for Information (RFI) on Responsible Procurement of Artificial Intelligence in Government. Our latest blog highlights some of the perspectives we offered OMB: https://lnkd.in/eN78ZSVD
