Many are the new technologies that seem to have been developed and with which both private and public companies and various organizations promise us, all users, to make our lives much easier. This time we will focus on the future promised by all those platforms based on complex algorithms of Artificial Intelligence that seem to have come to stay.
As you surely know, you just have to look at the entire immense ecosystem of platforms based on artificial intelligence systems that surround us to realize it, we are talking about platforms that can become tremendously profitable for certain companies as well as suppose that differentiating halo that marks its future. Such is the case that all the largest and most competitive companies in the sector, and even different foundations, have developed their own artificial intelligence systems.
Acumos Project, a personal commitment of the Linux Foundation
Curiously, at least so far, there was a foundation that, despite positioning itself in terms of the use of this type of platform, seemed to have made no move in this regard. Specifically, we are talking about a foundation as powerful and with as much impact as the Linux Foundation, which is considered the main one in terms of support for projects Open Source or open source around the world. To put ourselves in context a bit, we are talking about a foundation that unconditionally supports the development of software that is finally exposed to all users so that they can learn or offer their updates and advances to the community.
Thanks to this idea, today we have at our disposal not only high quality and robust software thanks to the fact that there are many testers and users who test the new functionalities and correct all kinds of bugs, but even complete operating systems such as GNU / Linux or Android to mention two of the most famous and known so far by practically all users.
Linux Foundation seek to design and create open source artificial intelligence
With this in mind, I am sure that you now have a better concept of what the Linux Foundation is and what it does, which is once again in the news by announcing its intentions to convert artificial intelligence and practically all of the methodologies of machine learning in a Open Source tool that can be used by all users who are interested, an idea that, without a doubt, can give that new impetus to this type of technology that they need so much to finish being implemented.
It is at this point where it enters Accumulations, name with which this initiative has been baptized that will begin to take shape, as it has been officially unveiled, principles of 2018. The basic idea of the Acumos Project is to design the necessary framework to share knowledge and models related to artificial intelligence completely free of charge among the interested parties, thus, among the entire community, to ensure that these algorithms and systems can expand their capabilities and be shared again.
Project Acumos will be financed financially by a company of the stature of AT&T
Based on the statements made by no less than Jim Zemlin, executive director within the Linux Foundation, on the idea of an artificial intelligence platform created from its base as open source software and the development of a project of the stature of Acumos:
An open and connected Artificial Intelligence will promote collaboration between developers and companies to define their future.
At this point and, as a final note, tell you that curiously and despite the fact that everything to the contrary is usually promoted, the Acumos Project in order to design and develop a completely free artificial intelligence system will not be completely independent since, as it has correctly been unveiled from the beginning of it, it will be financially financed by the telecommunications giant AT&T.
