Description:

In a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is as crucial as electricity, it's imperative to prevent the monopolization of this powerful technology. This talk dives into the concept of democratizing AI through the lens of open models especially how it's all powered by Python, drawing parallels to the transformative impact of open-source software in the tech industry. We'll explore how open AI models foster innovation, transparency, and ethical development, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to all, not just a select few. By democratizing AI, we aim to create a future where AI is a collaborative, inclusive, and equitable tool, shaping a society where technology serves everyone. This discussion will not only highlight the importance of open AI models but also explore the growing AI ecosystem around the open models.

As part of this talk, we'll also show ways people can run AI models locally!
