Any team that isn't 100% out in the open with everything, can do wrong, but these guys have a good heart. I know where they came from. But still, true, even such people can start to do wrong. That said, I am someone who isn't just going for 1 sided views. If I want to know something in-depth, I do my own research and will never form my opinions on just a single channel of information. But in between all the shitty media channels, some good channels exists 😉
In my line of business - IT - courses and trainings are pushed by the big ass software companies providing their shizzle, which we use to create solutions for our customers. Contractually, they offer purchase discounts when x number of people have this and that certificate. They are forcing us to spend tons of time to pass their exams. But much of what we learn is pretty much bullsh*t. Honestly, I don't believe in a certificate-based reputation system these companies are pushing.
So true regarding AI. Though we can expect AI to be certified for certain tasks. Perhaps for AI that isn't a bad thing. Likely it is a good thing. Like AI used by professional healthcare people. Better make sure the models are trained well, with super low levels of hallucination, or no halluciantion at all. We will see a huge influx of specialist AI models since this solves many issues the general-purpose AI models are dealing with today. Am pretty sure the professional industry, regardless the segment, will start demanding qualified AI models, systems and services. The more harm an AI can do, the more this will be demanded.
