The Open Source A.I. Boom — Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

One of the things that excites me about artificial intelligence is how open it is. All of the brilliant minds that are working on it aren’t hoarding their ideas and keeping them close to their chest, hoping to make billions off of them. The amount of free and open source technology that is available to build your own artificial intelligence is mind blowing, to the point where you can use the same underlying tech that Google or Microsoft uses, without paying a dime. Ever. No strings attached.
