Its amazing having a company with the technology & innovation focus such as Google funding, pushing, and publishing AI research.
Everyone wins, and will continue to do so until the research labs at Google, Facebook, Apple etc... abandon their openness culture -- which I don't see happening anytime soon mostly because of the attitudes and culture of openness of the engineers & researches at said labs.
Great times we live in...
- wiz21c 5y agoVast and important domain of knowledge are now under IP protection. It means that society will evolve only at the speed the owner want it to. You could argue that it is better than nothing. But this you will only know if 50 years when others will have caught up and we'll realize (or not) that things could have been much faster if stuff was more open. Google opens up its articles, codes, but sure not its infrastructure. Now does public funded efforts do better, or would do better if they had the financial power of Google ? That's the question. I believe so, but that's rather an idealist point of view.
