AI Opportunity @ Intelligent Cooperation Workshop

Brewster Kahle proposes the establishment of a public AI research lab that brings together the research community, research libraries, and data collections. The lab would aim to use AI tools to address significant problems and create a valuable data set. Kahle suggests combining data assets from various libraries, including climate-related materials, to advance climate research. Building the lab requires GPU stacks, AI-proficient researchers, and engagement from climate researchers and target users. The lab prioritizes preserving metadata and seeks collaborations to access valuable datasets. Kahle emphasizes the need for resources and envisions the lab as a collaborative effort where organizations contribute resources, including government documents, gray literature, and public web materials.
