LPI Blog - Open Source, Artificial Intelligence, and LPI

I'm going to lead with the punchline on this one. I believe that LPI should invest in providing a certification path for some kind of machine learning, specifically geared to open source development in artificial intelligence. Whatever you may think about automation and artificial intelligence from the perspective of what it will eventually mean for humanity, there's no question that some form of artificial intelligence is present in every aspect of our lives. Those of us who own one or more Google Home or Alexa speakers know full well how much AI touches our lives. Smart systems like Google's Assistant are built using TensorFlow ( https://tensorflow.org), an open source programming library that has become a kind of goto set of tools for anyone building machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing (as in your smart speaker), or neural network based applications.
