"Indeed, the number of people who can *really* develop frontier AI systems; whether to commercialise or 'contain' them - is infinitesimally small." -- I am not so sure about that. Yes, the success and attention that OpenAI got is unprecedented, no doubt. But the development of frontier AI systems is a global phenomenon. It is not happening in a vacuum, and it is not being driven by any single group of people. There are many different stakeholders involved in the development of AI.
Agreed it’s bigger than Open AI, and will become bigger. But relative to the impact - the numbers are still very small. For example, how many people really know how to build an LLM? Maybe a few thousand ?
True. LLMs hold immense potential, many companies are yet to effectively harness their capabilities. But LLMs represent a significant piece of the AI landscape, but they are not the sole solution. I am more on the skeptic side. The lack of data maturity, data quality concerns, trust issues, and emerging regulations are likely to hinder the rapid growth of this technology.
