How open source is leading the way for collaborative innovation in AI

Technology Now

The term “open source” is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It originally started out as a rebellious gesture to allow everybody access to programmes and ideas. So how did something that began as a movement against big corporations grow into one that has been adopted by Fortune 500 companies?

In this episode we’ll be looking at where open source technology sits as a functioning tool in the age of VR and AR, and if we're going to see open source software being coded by open platform AI, with Distinguished Technologist for Open Platform at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Jean-Marie Verdun.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
