OpenWALDO aims to blow the doors off proprietary AI training models

Gregory Kurtzer, founder of CentOS and Rocky Linux, has launched OpenWALDO, an open-source AI training dataset project aimed at addressing transparency issues in AI model development. The initiative challenges the current practice of proprietary training data in open-weight models, arguing that hidden data sources create legal risks, waste resources through duplication, and lack the collaborative

Stronger AI Safety Requires Peeking Inside the 'Black Box'

Researchers are advocating for improved AI safety measures by examining the internal workings of large language models rather than treating them as opaque systems. The approach focuses on identifying specific cognitive elements within LLMs that can signal when an AI system might perform undesirable or harmful actions, moving beyond black-box testing methodologies.
