How can LLMs keep training and improving if humans stop sharing original thought? 🤔 This is why we see Knowledge as a Service as the future of community business models, preserving open community content while ensuring fair and responsible use by AI developers. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/ebH6c_dv

Did you know developers spend over 17 hours a week on maintenance tasks like debugging and refactoring? 😱 AI-generated documentation could be a game-changer in reducing grunt work and improving code quality. We examine some of the challenges of maintaining effective documentation and explore how AI-powered tools could lend a hand in tackling technical debt: https://lnkd.in/eFU5nKfi

🎙️The podcast team sits down with Matthew Zeiler, founder and CEO of Clarifai, to chat about how the transformer architecture supplanted convolutional neural networks in AI applications, the implications of regulating AI, and the value of synthetic data. https://lnkd.in/eN-TaQ4R

Generative AI is now integral to the technologist workflow, yet many developers are still skeptical about the reliability of AI. According to our 2024 #Developer Survey, 79% of respondents cited misinformation as their primary ethical concern regarding AI, followed by 65% who were worried about incorrect attribution of data sources and 50% who highlighted bias that fails to reflect diverse perspectives.
