White Paper Assumptions and Overall Objectives:
2024: Leverage AI Board survey from late 2023, focus on large models & Gen AI. Discuss how emerging AI tools like LLMs could be applied to network design, build and operation. We should cover what has changed from the previous survey and how that has and will inform the community's AI research and development direction. Also talk about the AI Taskforce and how it came to be.
2024: Purpose is to show LFN's leadership in LLM/AI space by outlining specific plans and areas where the community will collaborate in the open. Specific examples are a plus, as well as planned PoCs. Overall the purpose of the paper has not changed, but if possible, would like to highlight the progress that has been made in the space since the previous paper was written two years ago. We have come a long way since then.
2024: Promote the LFN AI Task Force; identify areas of momentum and gaps; solicit more contributors to open source efforts driven by LFN; Encourage existing and future LFN members to bring more AI work to the open source communities domain; Create some FOMO by positioning LFN as the collaboration hub for AI. Again, expand on what we have done since the previous paper was written and future directions and work that needs to be done to get to the next stage of development.
Good news folks - We are only late by 1 week!
