Great point, Bigbasbear. I will be working on the next AI component video on "Knowledge" and will integrate that information (where digital literacy and AI literacy overlap and differ). Thank you for the great idea.

@@sovorel-EDU I'm looking forward to that video, thank you. I am subbed.

I think a great conference on this with lots of hands-on workshops and presentations would be a great idea. Many have a lot of questions about the best way to implement open-source solutions and the resources needed for support. Thank you for your great post, Rob.

Thank you, Jack. Yes, my wife is Armenian, and I am currently living and trying to learn Armenian. Additionally, Armenia is an ancient civilization that is rapidly developing and has so much potential. I thought that this name and word was a good fit for the purpose of the channel, and remember that "Learning is for life!" Thank you for your post.

Thank you, Kevin. I, too, think this is big news that has world ramifications for business, education, and so much more.

Yes, this is a very new thing. I am really happy to see academia finally coming together and taking a lead with AI. I hope this continues and that many more universities work together with this open-source platform. We shall see.

That is a very great point, Michael. I think that Google Deep Search is a much cheaper alternative, but even then, many students won't be able to pay the $20 a month subscription. Faculty must understand this important equity issue when assigning homework or other assessments. Educational institutions need to consider the need to purchase access to the tools students need to have experience with so that they can be competitive in the workforce. I totally agree with your thoughts. Thank you for posting.

Agreed but rich students could always go to school without having to work, focusing more time on their assignments while the poor students have to supplement their school assignments with a part time job, cutting into their studying time. The world is an unfair place, rich students using AI just makes life a little more unfair. Not my opinion, just a time tested fact.

@@wavemotion9097@wavemotion9097 Yes, I, too, agree with your post. This inequality is something for us to be aware of and ensure that free tools can still be used to accomplish homework and other assignments, but we need to be realistic. We can never eliminate inequalities; we can just be sure to accommodate them when/where appropriate. Thank you for the important post, WaveMotion

Thank you for posting, Peter. From what I heard, it will eventually come to plus (I do mention that somewhere in the video), but I have not heard or read that this will be available for free plans. Do you happen to have a link to where you got that info? That would be great and very helpful to the many people who are only on the free plan; fingers crossed.

​@sovorel-EDU sorry, I don't remember. It was from one of those RUclipsrs in the AI niche. He also said it could be months from now when access is given.

It'll probably be tied tp usage. $200 = 100 plus interactions a month, $20 = ~10 , free `1-5.

@@Recuper8 Hmm, I do like that guy's videos sometimes, but I'm not sure we will ever see it on the free tier. I hope I am wrong. We shall see. Thank you for sending me the link, Peter.

Wow, that is a very impressive example of the power of this new Deep Search AI tool. I appreciate you sharing that with us so that we get a greater understanding of what it is capable of. Please post a link to your podcast so we can hear the results when you are ready. Thank you, Ben. So, would say that OpenAI's Deep Search at $200 a month is better than Google's Deep Search at $20 a month? Is it worth the greater expense?

Hi Hydro, thank you for posting. Yes, many people still do searches. I bounce back and forth depending on the features I want (text search that also gives image and video results). But I agree that as people get more comfortable and confident with AI, more and more people will default to using it as their search engine to begin with.

Stanford University's STORM (storm.genie.stanford.edu) is a pretty cool AI platform that gives a great report on the topic requested. I tested it out and thought it was great with really nice information. I couldn't find information on the specific AI model it uses, but it was impressive. It took about two minutes to complete its online research before generating a very usable report. I didn't find it a little limiting in that you can only put in 20 words to describe your topic to begin with, and then you can't continue the conversation with the AI after you get your result. I think Stanford University's STORM is a great tool that more people should learn about and test out. Thank you for sharing this with us, Ben.

@sovorel-EDU I'm a Podcaster and I was using STORM to research information for my content. But you are correct, it is very limited. So now I use Google Gemini Advanced 1.5 with Deep Research. It's 10000000x better than STORM.

@@_ben_sisko Wow, very cool. Yes, the Google version of Deep Research seemed very impressive and at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI's version. I have heard good things about Google's Deep Research from several people.

As always, I greatly appreciate your comments, SKY Walker. I agree. The more a student develops their AI Literacy, the more they will see that they have greater and greater agency, which will enhance their self-confidence and image. That is a great point.

Thank you for commenting, A M. DeepSeek is impressive, but we have to be realistic. It is better than some AIs, but not all. It has its strengths and weaknesses, just as all AI models do. Please see these comparison charts for full details: artificialanalysis.ai/models and lmarena.ai/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAzPy8BhBoEiwAbnM9O2mYK-7L14uwkvzNf5ypODvWsoWel4pTKBD1NAKgjgOhhQBn94EPVRoClEoQAvD_BwE It does have some free aspects and is open source, which is a great thing.

Thank you very much, Bongo Musician. This is part of a series where I explain each aspect of AI Literacy in detail. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/XM68f6GS8yQ/видео.htmlsi=knBh9igMR7WM5MwE, I hope it helps and I greatly appreciate the comment.

Great question, U Hu. We will have to see if it stands up in court, but "The San Francisco-based company [OpenAI} discovered what it believes to be signs of "distillation" by DeepSeek, a technique where developers use outputs from larger AI models to improve the performance of smaller ones, according to the Financial Times," timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/117683876.cms. Elsewhere, it was reported that "OpenAI declined to comment further or provide details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI.” www.ft.com/content/a0dfedd1-5255-4fa9-8ccc-1fe01de87ea6 Finally, the last bit of evidence I found reported was, ""Microsoft also believes that an OpenAI developer account it believes is connected to DeepSeek stole large amounts of data late last year," mashable.com/article/openai-microsoft-deepseek-trained-stolen-data. There have also been lots of reports that state that when using DeepSeek, it often claims that it is ChatGPT, www.techradar.com/computing/artificial-intelligence/deepseek-just-insisted-its-chatgpt-and-i-think-thats-all-the-proof-i-need

Yeah, it is pretty extreme. I agree. Depending on where you live they might have greater rights to your inputs. Thank you for commenting, Bruce.

Yeah welcome to the internet, sounds like they are at least honest about it, you don't think that's what others are doing your cute.

@@JoeCryptola-b1m Possibily, but there are legalities to think about. I would rather use an AI that expresses that it will protect my data than one that says it won't. However, one should always be careful and protect sensitive data. An organization should strongly consider locally hosting an AI to help ensure data protection, but a lot more work is involved with that.

@@JoeCryptola-b1m the difference is that their policy says that you give them permission to do so. This affects your ability to retaliate if they misuse your data. No need to be snarky, some people actually care about privacy.

Yes, the models just keep on coming, don't they? I don't think it will ever stop since there is so much possibility to improve and enhance these AI models. Whether through architecture, processing, inference, training in data creation, comprehension, or more. Great comment. Thank you, Roman.

I can understand where you are coming from Harald, but there are important intricacies here. There is a difference between obtaining publicly available data on the Internet to train an AI versus purposely taking information from a competitor after signing up for and agreeing to abide by their terms of service. Legalities are important, too. Multiple court cases have agreed that OpenAI using publicly available data was not illegal since they do not simply regurgitate this information but instead combine multiple sources into new information (www.ccn.com/news/technology/openai-wins-court-battle-over-data-copyright). Also, please remember that all of America doesn't think in one way. I think that open source should be the way to go, but I don't think that a company violating ethical issues (such as stealing data from a competitor) should be viewed as a good guy. There are other legal ways to succeed and improve the system that set a good example for others.

Tell me more about what you mean, Faruk. What excesses? The main thing I've heard from OpenAI is that they think DeepSeek violated their terms of service by taking their data to train their model. Please explain more; thank you.

@@sovorel-EDU you do know that “data” isn’t eve openAI’s, right? And their terms are literally “Ok to use… except if your a competitor.”

That is so very true. I think many companies want to overlook these suspicions and ethical considerations, but that will come back to haunt them. AI Literacy is a must, and these headline situations are a great opportunity to discuss with students and help them develop these skills. Thank you for your post.

​@@sovorel-EDUThank you. Would you mind to investigate & discuss the latest AI Tulu 3? Your excellent insights are highly appreciated!

@@skywalker7778 Sure, Skywalker I can do that. AI Tulu 3 seems interesting.

The Tülu 3 AI was developed by a company called Ai2, which was founded by Philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. They are a Seattle-based non-profit AI research. "We develop foundational AI research and innovation to deliver real-world impact through large-scale open models, data, robotics, conservation, and beyond." I tested out this AI, which has three versions (a 405B, a 70B, and a 3B parameter version) by using their AI playground here: playground.allenai.org/ I used the 405B version and found it to be very usable and fast (comparable to ChatGPT). Their terms of service specifically state, "Ai2 assigns to you all rights, title, and interest (if any) to Outputs you generate using the AI Services. The Services are built for experimental and research use. They are not intended to be accurate or reliable, but rather as research tools. In addition, artificial intelligence and large language models are frontier technologies that are still improving in accuracy, reliability, and safety. Please use your judgment, fact-check important information, and consider context when interpreting or using Outputs," (allenai.org/terms/2024-09-25). As far as your content is concerned, Ai2 states, "you give Ai2 a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, sublicense, make derivative works of, and distribute User Content. You agree that this license includes a right for Ai2 to make User Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Ai2 has relationships," allenai.org/terms/2024-09-25

Tülu 3 is impressive as an open-source AI model, and it outperforms a lot of its competitors. But remember that this is open source, so it is designed to be downloaded and then used by organizations/individuals. This is a great option for those who want to do that work, but many just want to access an AI and use it without having to do any other work on the back end. Thank you, SKYwalker for asking about this.

Wonderful and insightful questions; thank you, Rox. There are several different answers to "who will be providing the AI training to the workforce at this present time." One answer can be those that balance having a presence in academia and industry: adjuncts. They are poised to be able to address what is currently going on in the workforce as well as aspects of academia. Another one is consultants who have worked hard to develop this type of understanding through self-directed learning in order to help address this issue. All of academia needs to be reaching out to industry to see what exactly is needed in order to better address these training needs within the current curriculum. It is difficult and time-consuming, but it must happen and must occur quickly in order for higher education, specifically, to stay relevant in today's world. Academia is responsible for training itself. A good instructional designer will use the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) process to do a needs analysis and identify the skills and subskills needed in order to be properly trained. I appreciate your post, it is vital for the development of our community of inquiry.

@@deborahbiskin1201 A huge and resounding yes to your comment, Deborah. The library is such an important place. I consider the library the heart of any educational institution, and a good public library should also function as a great heart of a town or city. Librarians are leaders of literacy, digital literacy, and now AI Literacy. Funding should be provided to help libraries provide needed presentations and training to the public, especially our often vulnerable senior citizens. I have been thinking about this issue more and more. Of course, I hope my digital content and ongoing series on AI Literacy help all develop these imperative skills, but with many seniors, they need a more hands-on, face-to-face approach to help develop their capabilities. This is an extremely important issue. Thank you for your comment, Deborah.

I totally agree that leadership needs to really understand this important technology in order to properly and fully integrate AI for maximum ROI. The Deloitte report is pretty impressive and very interesting. I greatly appreciate your comment, SKYwalker.

Hi, SKYwalker; thank you for commenting. I find AI extremely interesting and have made it a focus of mine to help all people, especially academia. Putting these videos together helps me better understand what is happening with AI and is a great way to create resources for others. It is my pleasure, and I am thankful that it is useful to you.

There are for sure, concerns that need to be addressed with this powerful tool. We need to maximize security aspects and work to anticipate how the economy will change so that it can be properly directed and minimize the negative effects. I hope my suggestions are considered within a greater plan to help ensure prosperity for all in this new economy.

Yeah, it's an interesting choice of name for sure. I think it is in reference to the movie The Matrix, where they would call in on their phones to "The Operator," who would teleport them to different places within the Matrix world.

Yes, exposure, awareness, and understanding are vital in order to help students realize what is out there and what their future employment might require of them.

Thank you, Rox. Yes, this is a powerful new capability with so much potential. It is important for us to stay in the loop, avoid overreliance, and not lose needed skills, but this could save everyone a lot of time on many different types of tasks. I am very hopeful that this becomes freely available either through OpenAI or another AI so that we can experiment and then start to learn from one another. I appreciate your always great comments, Rox.

I'm glad this helps, David. Yes, this is a great first step that will make AI Agents more available and will spark competition with other AIs, which will hopefully result in free AI Agents for all. We shall see. Thank you for posting.

I can understand that viewpoint, although I think DEI was used for many other political agendas. Diversity can be found in many different ways, and all companies are free to hire who they feel is most qualified for the job based on the skills they need instead of their identity. It is important to have many differently skilled people to fully address how to best use these powerful AI tools and to fully contemplate how the economy will continue to change as these AI tools become more and more integrated and continue to advance.

@@sovorel-EDU Thanks for your answer, I agree. My point was more aimed at a future time when AI & Robots (are autonomous) and are preferred over humans in general as workers to be "hired". And DEI is no longer an option to hire humans, because of its past meaning. DEI as a concept might change meaning in the future. But I guess similar to that UFO can be renamed to UAP, so there might be another way around that minor problem. 🤔 Merits hiring humans now in tech is dominated by AI experience or areas that will evolve AI in combination with areas that will prosper humans.

@@isajoha9962 Yes, I agree. I think that will happen more and more in the future; the AI-infused robot will be able to do more in every way (more "Merit"). I don't see how we can avoid this. Yet, we should still have some humans within the process for the purposes of accountability and to help ensure that humanity still maintains control. This is going to be a growing issue. We as a society need to work to address this now before it becomes too late and everyone starts to suffer due to job loss or only finding part-time positions. Profits are important for our capitalist system, but society's needs must be addressed. There is a lot to work on here. Thank you very much for your comment, Beyond Music. P.S. I like your "Fly Away" song, even though I don't know Japanese.

Excellent point, and thank you for giving us your viewpoint as a retired economist, Graham. It is a very odd position because the more that unions might fight for government requirements to increase contributions per employee, the more that a business will want to move towards robotics or AI so as to avoid those types of costs. I appreciate your contribution to this extremely important topic that will be affecting us all.

You bring up a very important point, Terry. A lot, not all, of the older generation are very resistant to technological change. I worry about them and have been trying to push that training to be provided not just to faculty and students but to private citizens (especially the elderly) in order to ensure that they see the value that AI can provide as well as to help them avoid possible scams/deepfakes. I made a video on how to avoid deepfakes/deception from AI (ruclips.net/video/3ShI6Z33Ih4/видео.html), but it is just one component of more needed instruction for people of all ages. There are some that might be resistant to AI due to confusion/fear or other things. My hope is that this channel will help everyone better understand the many different aspects of AI in our new world. Great post, Terry. I appreciate it.

Thanks, and as for Deepfakes, I've always felt the need to use Disclaimers in the deepfake videos. Terry

Thank you very much, Peter. I think this is a very important topic that will affect more and more people. I really want to address it now so as to make it less difficult for us all.

Yes, I totally agree, Terry. I hope that this can help bring us together as a country. I think the race to AGI and the race to get a human to Mars have great potential to bring us together and inspire humanity. As always, thank you for your great comments, Terry.

And Thank You for your great videos.

Thank you for your comment, Steve, and thank you for your service. I understand where you are coming from, and I think a lot of that will happen (AI development). Yet, I think there will still be some jobs that humans will do. Some because humans will still have a preference for other humans to do that (athletic competitions, various art performances, aspects of child care) and I think we will still want and should have humans-in-the-loop for a multiple of situations in order to hold someone accountable as well as to stay in control.

You are very welcome, SKYwalker. Yes, I very much hope that there can be a lot of international projects and research done as the U.S. greatly enhances its focus on AI. I think there will be ever-growing opportunities. Thank you so much for posting.

Yes, this was something that needed to happen, and thankfully, it is being fast-tracked. We are now in a very good position in that both OpenAI and Elon Musk's Grok will have very powerful data centers with fast-tracked infrastructures all within the U.S. Thanks as always for your post, David.
