This is well-known about, but not enough discussion around the subject.

Open Euro LLM Is Europe's Bold Move Towards AI Independence
Europe is taking a big step towards AI independence with their Open Euro LLM initiative.

This does seem a wonderful idea, Europe needs to make its own path and mover away from the cesspits that big tech has created.

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)
We need to start having these conversations

New method uses AI to design artificial proteins
New method uses AI to design artificial proteins
This research is related to the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Using AI to design proteins.
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.
The article here from Earth.org on this very issue.
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:

Zoom can be used to train AI
Looks like the new Zoom terms and conditions now allow training AI on user content with no opt out. 🤣 See section 10.2
I am not too sure what data is shared, or how it is used, but big tech is clearly incapable of playing fairly, we have companies using all uploaded data to train AI, for example photos, text, code anything and usually the consent is given via terms and conditions so end users are so tied in to closed systems, the users auto consent weather they like it or not.
The fact that zoom is used by organisation such as child protection agencies also for me RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS.
Please consider using an alternative that actually protects and respects privacy such as Big Blue Button

Programming and AI: A Guide for Parents
This was posted to LinkedIn. I am sharing here as it may be of interest to anyone looking at where the industry is moving and gives an idea of what to be learning. It is also important for parents to understand so they can support learning.
I would encourage everyone to learn to code, I would encourage parents to learn what this is about so they can support their children. After all events such as Code Club or the Tech Jam would require parental permission.
It is also important for parents to understand so they can talk to their children about what they are doing, help them find information and sort out the bad information from the good, understanding how to use online forums and importantly stay safe by not sharing personal or private information.
While learning at home is possible, being able to meet up with other developers helps solve problems, builds social skills and you can get help with bigger projects leading to developing team and leadership skills, all very important to employers.

Programming and AI: A Guide for Parents
You can learn these skills from a wide range of providers both physical colleges / universities or via online learning,
The developer roadmap may also be of interest,
While schools can help so can events such as Tech Jams or code club. Adults such as youth workers need to understand this technology so they can encourage the learning and not discourage through not understanding and fear that comes with that.
