I cannot share that conversation because neither OpenAI, nor X, nor Microsoft, nor Google, nor any other AI vendor stores and shares conversations in a global open form which supports merging, comparisons, summaries, reports, or massive online collaborations that could have hundreds of millions of humans and their AIs.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT suggested: &#8220;Kirk, only a select few at Microsoft, with its 240,000 diverse employees, are offering an &#8216;intro to AI&#8217; course. While Microsoft showcases &#8216;AI&#8217;, there&#8217;s a notable absence of applying open AI methods to their legacy systems. Additionally, they aren&#8217;t making significant efforts to utilize AI in addressing global and systemic issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirk Borne @KirkDBorne Microsoft launched a free, 12-week course on #AI for Beginners \u2014 publicly available for free on GitHub: https:\/\/microsoft.github.io\/AI-For-Beginners\/ \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 #BigData #DataScience #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #Algorithms #DataScientists #NeuralNetworks #ComputerVision #NLProc #Ontologies https:\/\/pic.twitter.com\/TdpXOVZ1N4 Replying to @KirkDBorne Kirk, a select few offer an &#8216;intro to AI&#8217; course at Microsoft, which employs about 240,000 individuals of diverse <br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"\/?p=12685\">Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-assistive-technologies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12685"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12689,"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12685\/revisions\/12689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
