Dr. Maxime Derian’s Post

I'm extremely honored to have been asked by Maria Parysz to speak at the Science Summit of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 79) on Thursday. I will be part of the event on "The Impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) on Local Cultures and Languages" on the 193 nations of the UNGA. This honor comes with the pride of being alongside some of the major AI platform leaders for this event. It also comes with a responsibility on my part to explain: 1. Why have Large Language Models become a prerequisite in a global cultural world and economy in which every country depends on every other one? This means that each culture must be represented by an LLM. 2. How to improve an existing LLM or build one from scratch so that each culture and economy can maximize communication and improve global commitments on the exchange of goods, cultures, and climate change. These are the two pillars of my vision that I will present with my peers to our small planet but big world! #ai #unga #llms

Throughout this year, a major question has kept me awake at night: how can I make my work truly transformative and impactful? Octavia Butler's epigram in her never-completed novel "Parable of Trickster" resonates deeply: "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns." Inspired by this, I'm on a mission to find those new suns. One sun I'm chasing is a fresh approach to building powerful communities of practice. These communities would focus on e-participation, AI, and governance within the global majority. Another? Rekindling my first love: reimagining Africa's role in the ever-shifting landscape of International Relations. The "how" remains a work in progress, but this post is my attempt to think with (and learn from) the collective wisdom of this network. I'm eager to build a community around these ideas. What are your thoughts? -Have you encountered innovative models for fostering impactful communities of practice? -What sparks your imagination when considering Africa's future in the global arena? Let's use the power of connection to explore these questions and illuminate new paths. #eParticipation #AI #GlobalGovernance #Africa #CommunityBuilding

📝New content added on Ideas on Europe by Jon Danzig: What would Europe be like if the EU never existed?: The sum total of all human knowledge, spanning hundreds of thousands of years or more, is an amazing feat. But there is no single human on earth who knows all this knowledge, nor any group of humans who could assimilate or understand it all, not even the tiniest fraction of it. Artificial intelligence, however, is on track not only to eventually assimilate all knowledge ever gathered by humans, but also to understand it, analyse it, and uncover new knowledge yet to be discovered by humanity.

Bezoku is a small language model system, focused on dialects and promoting representation to fight against the bias exhibited by incumbent technologies and their algorithmic monocultures. So what does that mean in layman’s terms ? This Instagram post is a visceral illustration in the difference weather is presented in Germany and Greece. It’s a tongue in cheek post, but underscores the importance of not boiling down key technologies into a few dominant languages or cultures. Language technology needs to expand beyond the thirty or so “high resource” languages and deliver maximum diversity to reflect the gorgeous diversity of humanity.

#Eastern has built up the education based on humanity, #Western, instead, on Science. A #westernization of the past 150 years has brought eastern, specially the #tertiaryeduction in #China (including #Taiwan, #Hong Kong and #Macao) to the highest level of Science, however, that did not change the mindset of intellectuals to “serve” the emperor (ruling party) only, without #independence and #democracy in thinking. To achieve the expected state, needs to establish the discrepancies to the current state, as the driving forces. Prevailing process has a clear relevance to the current development of #AI, that falls into the trap in focussing on the #optimization according to Precision, but missing to address or even to present the interactions between #Humanintelligence #HI and #ArtificialIntelligence #AI, what #HolisticThinking would have had. Thus, in order to achieve the purpose for good, the #intention, as the basis of #technologicalinnovation, or the basis of the #politics and #policies, should be #Good. #Compassion or #love, is supposed to be the real bottom line of the #humanity.
