Abu Dhabi releases the source code for their Falcon 40B AI model.

The federal government’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) reports that the emirate of Abu Dhabi is making its massive AI model “Falcon 40B” open source for study and business use.

Venture One, the commercial investment arm of ATRC, stated that it will support any workable concepts generated by the program.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a research center inside ATRC, created Falcon 40B, a fundamental long language model (LLM) with 40 billion parameters and one trillion tokens of training data.

The Abu Dhabi emirate is opening up its “Falcon 40B” large-scale artificial intelligence model to research and commercial use, says to the government’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC).

According to ATRC Secretary General Faisal Al Bannai, “We were interested in contributing to the community, by speeding up the use of AI.” Bannai serves as the chairman of EDGE.

A TII director named Ebtesam Almazrouei stated that the organization wants to assist the application of generative AI not only in chatbots but also in engineering, healthcare, suitability, and coding.

Concerns regarding whether the technology could result in privacy violations, scams, and defamation campaigns have intensified as businesses globally compete to promote AI solutions in recent months.

When challenged about privacy concerns with the Falcon model, Bannai responded, “Setting Up these platforms on their own parameters, to train, implies we have no access to the data going into these platforms.
