Exciting developments in the AI world show us that ethical innovation is possible! A collaborative effort involving 14 leading institutions has unveiled a model trained solely on public domain and openly licensed materials, challenging the notion that copyrighted content is essential for AI training. While this new model may not be as powerful as its counterparts, it represents a significant step towards responsible AI development. As a Smart Building Engineer, I believe that embracing ethical approaches in technology not only boosts our creativity but also fosters trust within our communities. It’s inspiring to see how innovation can align with integrity, paving the way for a more transparent future. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible! #AIethics #SmartBuilding #Innovation #SustainableTech #PublicDomain
