Nathan Benaich, August 6, 2023 – “Welcome to the latest issue of your guide to AI, an editorialized newsletter covering key developments in AI policy, research, industry, and startups. This special summer edition (while we’re producing the State of AI Report 2023!) covers our 7th annual Research and Applied AI Summit that we held in London on 23 June. The in-person event brings together 200 researchers, entrepreneurs, and operators with the goal of learning and sharing best practices for building AI-first products as well as exploring where the state of the art is heading next. It supports the RAAIS Foundation, a non-profit that advances education and the funding of open source AI for the common good. Below are some of our key takeaways from the event and all the talk videos can be found on the RAAIS YouTube channel here.”
