AI everywhere... and a new beginner's course has launched! What's in it? A bit of everything (including topics we may have encountered before). So why am I sharing this course? Because it’s high-quality content for those new to the field. Because it's part of an incredible platform offering free courses to the public (in Hebrew and Arabic) across various subjects. And because, beyond AI, I’m a firm believer in self-directed learning. MOOCs like this one are a fantastic tool for independent learners. When well-designed, they can be a gateway for those hesitant to take the leap into self-learning. Explore CampusIL, discover the wide range of opportunities, and consider how it might be a powerful tool for both educators and students. Perhaps this MOOC will inspire you to create a course for your students—or even better: encourage them to build one themselves. Check out this course or explore others and enjoy the experience: https://lnkd.in/dspi2ik5 Happy learning!

"In my opinion, the essential difference between it and Western models is [who holds the information] and what risk it poses to us. For a slightly similar reason, the IDF recently canceled the purchase of Chinese-made vehicles due to concerns about information security."

" AI represents a true revolution. While the Internet transformed information distribution, AI is revolutionizing information creation. " Our founder, Yair Adato, was recently featured on N12 News Israel to discuss the challenges arising from the recent U.S. restrictions on advanced chip exports. These regulations place Israel in a unique category requiring FTC approval for advanced GPUs critical for AI development and may present significant challenges for Israel's thriving AI industry. Industry experts fear that these restrictions could place the local sector at a disadvantage compared to other countries worldwide. As Yair noted, "In many ways, the restrictions could deepen the problems for Israeli high-tech on two fronts," he concluded. "Existing companies will face greater difficulties, while new companies might find it easier, but only because they’ll choose to establish themselves in the U.S. instead of Israel.” Looking at the broader picture, Yair emphasizes the need for Israel to push harder to ensure it doesn’t miss the AI train. He highlights the importance of creating a stronger ecosystem for AI development. Read this great article by Shay Ringel: https://lnkd.in/dMZvYDWP

FortiTumaru, Korea's first LLM reliability certification Generative AI startup 42Maru has received AI reliability certification for its Large Language Model (LLM), marking the first such recognition in South Korea. The 'AI Trustworthiness Certification (CAT)' system, managed by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Telecommunications Technology Association, evaluates AI systems for governance and trustworthiness attributes, enhancing overall AI reliability. The certification involved thorough assessments of 11 criteria, including risk management, governance, data usage, and attack robustness. Following an extensive review that began in August, 42Maru's LLM42 met the required standards, making it a pioneering case for generative AI certification in Korea. 42Maru is developing LLM42 to focus on specific industries while addressing common challenges faced by large language models. CEO Kim Dong-hwan emphasized the importance of this certification for promoting safe and transparent generative AI use and expressed a commitment to building a reliable AI ecosystem based on market trust. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/gheWb68X

[AI Now] AI Basic Law Revision Team Launched… Industry: “High-Impact AI Definition Must Be Careful” The Ministry of Science and ICT has established a revision team to update the Framework Act on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the AI industry and build public trust. This team aims to refine definitions and evaluation criteria for high-impact AI, essential for the law's effective implementation. Passed by the National Assembly in December, the Framework Act seeks to mitigate AI-related risks while encouraging technological growth, following the European Union's AI legislation as one of the first global frameworks in this domain. The revision team will concentrate on creating criteria for high-impact and generative AI, focusing on systems that can significantly impact human life, safety, and rights. It comprises members from the Ministry, the National AI Commission's Legal System Division, academia, and industry. The team will work in three groups covering AI safety, transparency, and impact assessment standards. The AI sector has welcomed this initiative, expecting it will clarify legal interpretations and regulatory frameworks, leading to more streamlined business operations. Industry experts have stressed the need for clear definitions of high-impact AI, as these will influence service providers directly. They advocate for scientific evaluation methods that classify AI based on specific characteristics rather than arbitrary standards, and emphasize the importance of ongoing dialogue to balance industry support with necessary regulations. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/gUchpYkm

Nekao AI strategy?... Killing two birds with one stone: profitability and service. The two largest platform companies in Korea, Naver and Kakao, are focusing on developing new businesses centered on artificial intelligence (AI) this year. Naver is expanding AI customers and services using Hyper Clova X, while Kakao plans to strengthen AI service efficiency through collaboration between AI research and service development organizations. Naver is investing tens of trillions in the AI business, while Kakao Brain spent 80 billion won in AI expenses last year. Both companies are working on enhancing their AI strategies to drive profitability and service improvements. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/dz8Z_Wxd

Metanet Tplatform acquires AI company ‘Skelter Labs’… Expanding AI introduction support capabilities Metanet Tplatform has acquired Skelter Labs, an AI specialist company focused on enterprise language models, to enhance its AI adoption support capabilities.
