The head of the free software project Mozilla, Mitchell Baker, has urgently warned against leaving the development of artificial intelligence solely in the hands of a few tech giants. “It is extremely important that the training data and the results of the new AI functions can be controlled by individual users and companies and are not centrally controlled by a few large companies,” Baker told the dpa in Berlin. Artificial intelligence is likely to be the defining technology of the current generation, just as the Internet has fundamentally and forever changed the world. “What we’ve seen over the past year only scratches the surface of what’s possible.” AI capabilities are being used in more and more products and user experiences, Baker said. The benefits of the Internet have reached billions of people by not allowing one or two large companies to dominate the market. “With AI we now have the opportunity to make better decisions.”
Don’t just let tech giants control AI – business
