This makes AI more affordable and flexible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low-code\/no-code AI platforms: <\/strong>These tools let people create and use AI without needing advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/13128\/Programming\">programming<\/a> skills. This lowers barriers and allows more users to benefit from AI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Achievements<\/h3>\n<p>AI is now easier to use than ever, bringing big benefits to people and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>One major success is that AI has become part of everyday life. For example, AI-powered assistants like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/how-apple-wants-to-win-ai-with-llm-siri\">Siri<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/copilot-ai\">Microsoft Copilot<\/a> help people with tasks like answering questions, writing emails, and organizing schedules.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2024\/03\/26\/many-americans-think-generative-ai-programs-should-credit-the-sources-they-rely-on\/\" target=\"_blank\">22% of Americans said that they interacted with AI almost every day<\/a> in February 2024, with another 27% saying they interacted with AI about once a day or several times a week.<\/p>\n<p>Another important achievement is that AI is now also helping small businesses and startups. In the past, only big companies could afford AI-powered tools for customer service, marketing, and data analysis. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/benefits-of-generative-ai-for-smbs\">small businesses can use AI without needing a team of experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/best-ai-agents-to-automate-your-workflows\">no-code AI platforms<\/a> let business owners create AI chatbots and automation tools without programming skills. In fact, on average, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/study_posts\/new-report-smbs-race-to-critical-mass-on-ai-usage\" target=\"_blank\">37% of small and medium-sized businesses<\/a> (SMBs) used AI in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>However, some challenges remain. Although not everyone can afford paid AI tools, paying for subscriptions often gets you access to better models, while the free version is more limited. This creates a &#8220;pay-to-win&#8221; system where those who can afford to pay get access to more powerful and smarter AI models. If AI is to be truly available to everyone, these gaps need to be addressed.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"democratizing_ai_development\">Democratizing AI Development<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The democratization of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/34633\/generative-ai\">gen AI<\/a> development involves making AI model creation cheaper and easier. Rather than having AI developed by a select few, any developer can create and improve AI models if the technical and cost barriers are reduced.<\/p>\n<h3>Goals<\/h3>\n<p>The main goals of democratizing AI development are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Making AI model creation less expensive and complex.<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging open-source AI projects so that more people can contribute to AI advancements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These goals help make AI development more inclusive and support innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>Methods<\/h3>\n<p>Several methods help make AI development more accessible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/best-open-source-llms-for-businesses\"><strong>Open-source AI<\/strong><\/a><strong> frameworks: <\/strong>Free libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/hugging-face\">Hugging Face<\/a> allow developers to build AI models without needing to buy expensive software.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI model fine-tuning:<\/strong> Instead of creating AI models from scratch, developers can improve pre-trained models to fit their needs. This saves both time and money.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloud AI services: <\/strong>Google, Amazon, and Microsoft offer AI training through cloud platforms, so developers don&#8217;t need to invest in costly hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Achievements<\/h3>\n<p>The democratization of AI development has led to important progress, making it easier for more people and businesses to create AI models without depending only on big tech companies.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest achievements has been giving more people access to AI research and development. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/3294\/open-source\">Open-source<\/a> AI tools like TensorFlow and PyTorch allow researchers, students, and small businesses to experiment with AI without needing expensive software, leading to faster innovation and a wider range of AI solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Another major achievement is the growth of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/top-ai-startups-of-the-year\">AI startups<\/a>. In the past, only large companies with advanced computers could develop AI models. Now, cloud AI services and fine-tuning techniques allow smaller businesses to build AI solutions without needing costly hardware. This has helped AI startups grow in many industries, including healthcare, finance, and marketing &#8211; seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/aiindex.stanford.edu\/report\/\" target=\"_blank\">a 40.6% increase in the number of new AI companies that received funding in 2024 compared to 2023<\/a>. The growth was especially strong in gen AI, where 99 new startups were funded in 2023, compared to 56 in 2022 and only 31 in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, more businesses can now customize AI instead of building models from scratch, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/openai-gpts\">OpenAI GPTs<\/a>. They can fine-tune existing AI models to match their needs, which reduces costs and development time. As a result, AI is now used in more areas, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/ai-customer-service\">customer service chatbots<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/llms-in-the-legal-field-transforming-legal-research-and-analysis\">automated legal advice<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/ai-in-healthcare-top-medical-ai-tools\">medical diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>Even though AI development has become more accessible, some challenges still exist.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/top-10-countries-leading-in-ai-research-technology\">large tech companies still control most AI research and funding<\/a>, even though more startups are appearing. Ethical concerns are also a challenge, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/times-ai-bias-caused-real-world-harm\">bias in AI models<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/how-ai-increases-carbon-production-and-puts-net-zero-in-jeopardy\">high energy use of training large AI systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"democratizing_ai_governance\">Democratizing AI Governance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In terms of governance, AI democratization is not just about making AI available to everyone; it also means ensuring that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/ai-ethics-new-challenges-and-regulations\">AI regulations and policies<\/a> are fair and inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to make AI decision-making transparent. Allowing more people to be involved will help to prevent AI from being controlled only by big companies or a few governments.<\/p>\n<h3>Goals<\/h3>\n<p>The main goals of democratizing AI governance are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensuring that AI policies and regulations protect users, promote fairness, and reduce harm.<\/li>\n<li>Making AI decision-making more transparent so businesses, researchers, and the public can understand and contribute to AI regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These goals help create AI systems that are more ethical, fair, and widely accepted.<\/p>\n<h3>Methods<\/h3>\n<p>Several strategies help democratize AI governance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Global AI governance bodies:<\/strong> Laws like the <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/policies\/regulatory-framework-ai\" target=\"_blank\">EU AI Act<\/a> aim to regulate AI use and ensure ethical standards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decentralized AI governance:<\/strong> Some models propose using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/ai-governance-infused-in-blockchain-is-the-key-to-ethical-ai-systems\">blockchain-based AI decision-making<\/a>, which would allow more public oversight and reduce corporate control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Public participation in AI ethics: <\/strong>Through public forums and expert panels, governments and organizations encourage discussions on AI risks, bias, and regulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Achievements<\/h3>\n<p>The democratization of AI governance has led to important progress in making AI policies fair and transparent.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the EU AI Act is a key example of a regulation focusing on responsible AI use, aiming to protect users, reduce harm, and ensure that AI benefits everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Another important achievement is <strong>the rise of independent AI oversight organizations<\/strong>. Groups like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/ethics-ai\/en\" target=\"_blank\">UNESCO<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/en\/topics\/sub-issues\/ai-principles.html\" target=\"_blank\">OECD<\/a> have created global guidelines for ethical AI, which many countries and companies now follow. This helps prevent AI decision-making from being controlled only by large tech companies or governments.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>However, even with progress in AI governance, some challenges remain. One big problem is actually enforcing AI regulation \u2013 many countries do not have enough resources to follow up.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, big tech companies still have a lot of power and can influence AI policies in ways that benefit them.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, not enough people are involved in AI decisions. While public discussions exist, most decisions are still made by governments and big companies without much input from the public.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"ai_democratization_benefits_challenges\">AI Democratization: Benefits &amp; Challenges<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As with all other things, the democratization of gen AI brings both good and bad.
