What Makes an LLM Open Source?
Join us as we dissect the components and technology stack of large language models (LLMs), exploring which parts are open source and which often remain black-box—even within open-source LLMs. We’ll examine the reasons behind the openness of some elements, what is typically proprietary, and how this impacts the development of AI technology.
AI, IP, and Your Code: What Developers Need to Know
In a world where AI-generated code is becoming more prevalent, who owns the output? Can AI companies freely use your open-source code as training data? What are the legal ramifications when an AI system infringes upon existing intellectual property rights?
Alla will address these critical questions focused on code and IP law. The talk aims to demystify the complex legal landscape developers may find themselves navigating when using AI-generated code.
