The United States efficiently grows lots of food, but its post industrial society is one where intellectual property remains one of the few advantages it maintains over the rest of the world.
And what better form of intellectual property than the bleeding edge, GPU and TPU based Machine Learning models, capable of generating images, songs and reams of “written” text.
Well, maybe this is where we’ve created our own demons.
Machine Learning vs. Intellectual Property
A Machine Learning model can be based off more than one algorithm, though the deep learning/ large language model variety are…
