🥟 Chao-Down #188 Voice actors worry that AI will take their jobs, Chatbot hallucinations bleed into search engines, Getty Images tool seeks to reward artists who contribute to AI

I’ve been at the AI Engineer Summit in San Francisco the past couple days and it’s shaping up to be the start of a great series and community of this new class of builder: the AI engineer.

One interesting announcement was the launch of the AI Engineer Foundation.

Inspired by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and KubeCon, the AI Engineer Foundation seeks to be a unifying, independent organization establishing industry wide best practices and standards for AI Engineers.

It’ll be interesting to see how this shapes up in the coming months and whether this foundation will be ultimately successful.
