Let’s try our hands on fortune-telling! from Sourav Rudra and Ankush Das
Happy New Year, folks ✨
Year 2024 is here, and it is time to look forward to the trends that will shape the year.
We are not fortune-tellers, so we cannot tell exactly what will happen. However, we could surely make some predictions based on what we’ve seen so far.
And here are our predictions on how things will move for Linux and Open Source.
#1 – Rise of Open-Source AI
Mozilla was among the first ones to kick 2023 off with plans to work on open-source AI and to develop solutions like ChatGPT. That was followed by Hugging Face stepping up their game and becoming one of the most popular AI communities out there, facilitating collaboration on a global scale.
We also saw the birth of The AI Alliance, formed with over 50 founding members that include some big names such as Meta, Intel, Oracle, CERN, etc. with a simple goal; to support open innovation and science in AI.
There was even an open-source project called GuardRail that aims to promote Responsible AI development by providing a framework for keeping AI in check.
All the open-source AI development might translate into integrations with distributions or open-source tools. Sure, unlike other commercially successful desktop operating systems, Linux distros may not “market” the AI-powered features, but you never know?
All in all, if you ask us, the year 2024 will be a crucial year for open-source AI, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store! 😃
