Is Open Source the future of AI?In this panel-led discussion, our speakers will share insights from their work, exploring how open-source AI can drive innovation and growth for SMEs. They will also address both the risks and opportunities associated with adopting open-source AI tools, practices, and systems. Finally, we will examine how fostering open collaboration and transparency through open-source adoption can help SMEs thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
Open-source technologies have played—and will continue to play—a crucial role in this landscape by lowering barriers to entry and enabling wider participation in advancing AI, including the development of powerful Large Language Models (LLMs). Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to enhance your existing strategy, this panel will provide you with valuable knowledge and actionable insights to guide your organisation’s decisions.
