📢 @project_solid will have a new organisational home @ODIHQ - pairing their expertise of the data spectrum with pro-human technology to build a global data infrastructure that stimulates creativity, encourages collaboration and fosters compassion - my original hope for the web.
From October 2024 we’re bringing @project_solid into our broader data stewardship activities. The project, protocol, and community will become part of @ODIHQ activities to promote secure, ethical #data sharing and build a more transparent, and user-centric data ecosystem

Many types of #data are used to train #AI models, and many types of data are needed to build, use and monitor AI systems safely and effectively. We've developed a taxonomy to identify the data needed, especially for researchers and policymakers.

Super excited that Croissant was accepted as a 🌟spotlight paper at @NeurIPSConf!
Croissant is a community-built vocabulary for ML datasets, making them easily discoverable & usable across tools & platforms.
Huge credit to the entire @MLCommons Croissant community!

The data used to train AI is often spoken about as if it’s a static, singular blob. But it’s not. Nor is it the only important type of data needed to build/use/govern AI systems. I'm working openly with @esimperl on a taxonomy of data for AI here: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

This has been so much fun. Writing a miniature podcast musical with @LucyBellSW based on @ms_j_walker's fascinating research, starring the wonderful vocal talents of @JoanneKRogers and @Sam_otto. Coming soon!
🎤🎭 @JessicaLKeating recently met with @ms_j_walker, @LucyBellSW and @JamesJoshuaOtto to discuss 'Destination Hallucination', a podcast musical about #GenAI funded by @aiatkings.
