 oors. In this Tech&Meet session\, we’ll dive into the world of open-sour
 ce AI and explore how it is shaping the future of technology. You’ll dis
 cover the differences between open- and closed-source AI\, their unique ad
 vantages and limitations\, and how organizations can leverage both. We’l

 nt hubs for open-source AI\, and showcase how you can get hands-on with to
 ols\, models\, and datasets to kickstart your own AI projects. Whether you
 ’re a developer\, researcher\, or simply curious about the AI landscape\
 , this session will provide you with the insights and practical guidance t
 o start experimenting with open-source AI yourself. Speaker Niels Rogge ML
 6 & Hugging Face Niels works as a senior machine learning engineer at ML6\
 , a Belgian AI consulting company which implements (generative) AI use cas
