Last question I couldn't ask to the great panel on #publicai

Where do we get the materials to build the datacentres and compute? Where do we put them physically? Where do we get the energy to run it?

"We are aiming to make #gptNL into a boxed application so we don't have the alignment problem. Prompt-injection is solved in kind of the same way”

“NL is small. But we have the main EU sea-port, the main airport, The best Internet Exchange. We are so rich and we can make so much. If there would be political will we can make a healthy eco-system with computers.

We need to have a conversation on what kind of eco-system we want.”

“Also companies are not throwing there models out there. Mistral did try, but we need to look at different ways of opening the tech. Maybe we need to make a CERN for AI.”

"We are still seeing how we can use GPT-NL. If this is clear, we can look at the governance structure. We want to guardrail that it can't be bought by an US company. So we are working on a AI ánd a business model. And it seems we can't release it into the open. We want to have an application; that is used fair, so we can't just throw it our there”
