John Pasmore: Inclusive AI

In this episode of the Artificiality podcast, John Pasmore, CEO of Latimer and advisor to the Artificiality Institute, discusses the latest developments at Latimer, an inclusive large language model company. The conversation covers Latimer's partnership with Grammarly, its increasing adoption in higher education, and the various ways schools are integrating AI into their curricula. Pasmore addresses the challenges universities face in preserving critical thinking skills amidst the ease of AI-generated content, and he highlights Latimer's unique approach to providing a more culturally sensitive and representative AI experience by incorporating data from underrepresented communities. The discussion also touches on future design directions, including the integration of images and the creation of an "eBay of data" to fairly compensate data owners and promote a more accurate global perspective within AI. Finally, Pasmore emphasizes the continued importance of in-person interactions for fostering deeper, more spontaneous conversations and connections.
