Deep dives

The Need for Public AI

Public AI is crucial due to the dominance of commercial AI infrastructures, which often restrict the ways developers can utilize AI effectively. Many developers find themselves unable to leverage AI for sensitive or proprietary data because closed systems cannot be modified for local use. Public AI offers a foundational alternative that allows for ethical development and accessibility, supporting community-driven AI applications that prioritize public interests over commercial gains. This dual ecosystem—where public and private AI can coexist—encourages innovation while ensuring that AI development is oriented towards societal benefit.
