Spring Meetings

Description:The rise of open-source AI is transforming the artificial intelligence landscape, making advanced technologies accessible to a broader audience and disrupting established power structures. This Knowledge Café will delve into how open-source AI models, such as DeepSeek's R1, are democratizing innovation and enabling rapid advancements across various sectors. Open-source AI is also driving the expansion of Digital Public Goods (DPGs)-freely available AI tools and models that can empower governments, researchers, and enterprises in low-resource settings to develop localized AI solutions. Join us for an engaging discussion about the implications for global competitiveness, the potential for collaborative problem-solving, and the challenges associated with open-source approaches, including security, ethical considerations, and long-term sustainability of AI as a DPG. *Watch Event|https://meetingslogin.worldbank.org/en/asmeeting/event-detail/ems1852258*
