We Are Not Taking Part in the Scaling Race With Our Algorithms

LMU News

In this interview our PI Björn Ommer shares his opinion about the current development of Large Language Models. He talks about the problematic of computing power in AI, the importance of data security and how Germany could potentially solve these problems.

«Usually buried in the operators’ small print is the fact that any data entered by users is going to be used for the operators’ own interests, for example to train the LLMs. Companies with extremely sensitive data, like in the medical sector, cannot tolerate that.»
