I had the pleasure of chatting with Katherine Druckman, host of the #OpenatIntel podcast, at #AllThingsOpen last fall:

"Democratizing AI: Collaborative AI Development with #InstructLab"

Democratizing AI: Collaborative AI Development with InstructLab | Open at Intel

In this episode, we have an insightful discussion with Carol Chen from Red Hat at the All Things Open conference. Carol, who works in the Open Source Program Office at Red Hat, shares her experiences and insights on her ongoing project, InstructLab, a collaboration with IBM aimed at applying open source methods to building and training large language models. The conversation covers the importance of democratizing AI, reducing the fear and misconceptions surrounding AI technology, and making AI tools and concepts more accessible and understandable for everyone, including those who are not tech-savvy. Carol also discusses the social responsibility associated with AI development, emphasizing the need for transparency and community collaboration. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:17 Carol's Background and Role at Red Hat 01:00 AI and Open Source 03:13 Challenges and Opportunities in AI 06:43 InstructLab: Making AI Accessible 12:09 Personal Journey into AI 15:37 AI Ethics and Open Source Resources: Applying Open Source Methods to Building and Training Large Language Models - Carol Chen & JJ Asghar Guest: Carol Chen is a Community Architect at Red Hat, supporting and promoting various upstream communities such as InstructLab, Ansible and ManageIQ. She has been actively involved in open source communities while working for Jolla and Nokia previously. In addition, she also has experiences in software development/integration in her 12 years in the mobile industry. Carol has spoken at events around the world, including DevConf.CZ in Czech Republic and OpenInfra Summit in China. On a personal note, Carol plays the Timpani in an orchestra in Tampere, Finland, where she now calls home.

I'm learning the cool kids are still into #ethernet and I'm wondering what else. :) What other #opensource topics are people excited about right now?

Thank you for listening! #OpenAtIntel #IAmIntel

The Best Ethernet on Mars | Open at Intel

Intel Ethernet and open source have been making history for decades. Doug Boom and Kevin Bross join us for a history lesson and a look toward future innovation. If you drive a car, use a phone, or travel to Mars, chances are you'll encounter foundational ethernet technology Kevin and Doug have helped foster. We take a deep and nerdy dive into the world of open source software and ethernet and learn how it impacts all our our lives. Resources: Westport Channel: Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter E810-XXVDA4T Logan Beach: Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter E810-CQDA2T Guests: Doug Boom is a Principal Engineer at Intel Ethernet. Heading into his 29th year at Intel Ethernet, Doug has done it all when it comes to Ethernet. Driver writer, product technical lead, architect, people and project management, he has lately been doing custom implementations with Intel Ethernet partners. His code is in everything from soda machines, enterprise ethernet switches, lottery kiosks, ultrasound machines, cars, planes, trains and even rovers on Mars. He has over 20 patents, and has invented technologies used in billions of dollars of solutions. He’s had code in the Linux kernel since the old 2.4 days, but for reasons he can’t explain, his favorite distro is Ubuntu. Doug is an Ethernet evangelist, you can see him talk about Ethernet basics at this YouTube link and history and some product stories at this YouTube link. Doug writes fiction, makes board games and plays video games in his spare time. Kevin W. Bross is an Intel Principal Engineer and modular systems architect in Intel’s Network and Edge Group (NEX). Over the past 30+ years at Intel, he has held a variety of engineering and marketing roles at Intel, including defining bladed systems products, architecting Intel's first M2M/IoT gateway product, working on the development/trials of 64-antenna Massive MIMO cellular base stations, and architecting Intel’s first three timing-related network adapters. Kevin is currently working on 5G infrastructure and system design for Intel reference designs and numerous customer systems. Guest Host: Chris Norman An avid promoter of open source ecosystems, Chris writes documentation and presents at open source events, helping developers better understand Intel’s contributions to operating systems, languages, and runtimes. He also moderates the Clear Linux community forum.
