I have put a Blog post on Linux foundation training which has some links, to courses run by the Linux Foundation, EdX and others and in fact EdX, offer a number of AI courses, but as everything needs something (usually a server running Linux) to actually run on, it seems that learning how to use, maintain and administer GNU/Linux operating systems is also essential. There are a lot of AI software / Tools or Libraries under a GNU or similar licences anyway.
It could be an opportunity for the Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux user group to expand and gain new members, who can at least get help and advice to get started, even though it is much easier to install than it was 25 years ago.

Western AI and Russian propaganda
Found on Fedi on Saturday
A well-funded Moscow-based global ‘news’ network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda
So following my previous post on AI we need to start asking questions as to where Ai gets data from, what safeguards are in place and what AI tech companies are doing about all this.

UK and AI
UK and US refuse to sign international AI declaration
This is a missed opportunity, BBC Article we have, or had a chance to be part of a global regulation framework. We need to be in, so that we can help drive this forward.
We should not be pandering or following to the USA. The US is now approaching dictatorship where DEI is being eroded.

AI Footprint
With all the hype around AI, not many people are talking about how this is impacting on the environment, power consumption and water usage (for cooling)

Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for designing large new proteins better than before and producing them with the desired properties in the laboratory.

Generative AI Is Exhausting the Power Grid
Generative AI is hailed by many as the future, being able to use Artificial Intelligence to generate content. All the talk fails to take in to account what is needed to power the computers or computer farms to generate this content.
We really do need to decide on our future, the power required is huge as is the amount of water required to cool these systems. It is hardly sustainable, but it seems profit is far more important.

Overleaf Beta Testing
As I have signed up in the Overleaf beta testing programme, I am able to access new features early. The latest is testing their AI tool to help fix any errors to the LaTeX code.
This is going well so far, and seems a useful feature, especially as LaTeX can throw up problems that are harder to identify at times
Updates
7/7/2024 : I have made a video to illustrate how this feature can be used:
