AI systems don't have to be controlled by fascist bootlickers. They don't have to be controlled by for-profit tech companies!
Check out our report on the possibility and necessity of an #AICommons: oneproject.org/ai-commons/
1/9 🧵 Something's been brewing with Arkology Studio and Slum Dweller's International (@sdi_net) ..
What if the most sophisticated AI could serve the most marginalized communities WITHOUT extracting their knowledge or compromising their autonomy? 🤔 #DataCommons #AICommons
It was a real pleasure imagining #AICommons as alternatives to extractive AI together with @ramyachandra.bsky.social , Michelle Thorne and Solana Larsen at this year's @re-publica.com 🤓
🤔 How can we build sustainable, participatory #AICommons?
📺 Review the recording of the session at @re-publica.com where @ramyachandra.bsky.social, @danbru8.bsky.social, Michelle Thorne and Solana Larsen discussed why data work matters in shaping alternatives to extractive AI.

Wikipedia and Kaggle teaming up to train AI on open knowledge feels… radical. In the best way.
Open data. Public good. Transparent values. Let’s build tech that reflects the best of us, not the worst.

#AICommons
I’m excited about the new initiative by @davehansen.bsky.social and @social.dancohen.org - we need datasets that are not just content scraped and aggregated by AI builders; and we need #open models built from the ground up in collaboration with various collections: #aicommons
Mozilla and Open Future co-hosted an event that brought together policymakers, industry representatives and civil society. The goal was to exchange views on what transparency for content used to train AI models should look like.

Agora Group, major Polish media company, shares its content for free with PLLuM, the public consortium building a Polish open #LLM. Great news and impressive example of cooperation, against a backdrop of either big commercial deals or copyright infringement cases. #opensourceAI #AIcommons
