Having to connect different tools in a cohesive way was very challenging! That's what inspired me with the idea of ThinkTrends, a very robust AI platform for every enterprise's needs. Jyotiska Biswas, CEO, ThinkTrends

The interview touched upon the pivotal moments that marked 2023 as a turning point for AI, particularly in making it more accessible to non-technical users. Jyotiska shed light on how tools like ChatGPT have bridged the gap, allowing individuals of all age groups to interact with AI effortlessly. The once inconspicuous presence of AI in our lives has now become overt, empowering laymen to harness its capabilities. He further elucidated on the ascent of multimodal AI and generative AI as well as the technical prowess of these models, emphasizing their applications in diverse fields. It was interesting to note that the fusion of various machine learning models into cohesive multimodal systems is set to redefine how we interact with and benefit from AI.

However, Jyotiska also advised about the potential misuse of AI. He highlighted concerns regarding election interference, spreading propaganda, and the dissemination of misleading information at an unprecedented scale. This led to a compelling discussion about the need for regulations in the AI space, especially with the advent of generative AI that amplifies these challenges. Amidst these concerns, Jyotiska advocated for a more democratic approach to AI through open-source initiatives.

The spotlight turned towards the significance of open-source large language models, a departure from the closed generative AI systems of the past. This shift is not only about the power of the algorithm but also about providing broader access to these advanced tools. With industry giants like Nvidia and Meta investing billions in open-source initiatives, agencies and enterprises can now leverage these models to create their generative AI systems. This move not only promotes innovation but also ensures the protection of sensitive information. He also suggested that the need for lawmakers to gain a deep understanding of AI to implement effective regulations.

Jyotiska anticipates that 2024 will witness the early stages of planning for regulations to govern AI technologies, addressing concerns related to misinformation. In the final segment, the conversation pivoted to the growth of open-source large language models.

I am excited about the possibilities this trend unlocks for enterprise-level AI development. The focus on open-source models allows organizations to create generative AI systems tailored to their specific needs while ensuring the safeguarding of proprietary information. As we navigate this transformative era in AI, ThinkTrends stands at the forefront of this revolution. Jyotiska Biswas, CEO, ThinkTrends

The interview with Jyotiska Biswas serves as a testament to the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI while maintaining a vigilant stance on ethical considerations. The potential of open-source large language models in enterprise-level AI development underscores the forward-looking approach adopted by ThinkTrends, making the company a driving force in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
