Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming global economies, driving innovation across industries and redefining how societies work, connect, and deliver healthcare. According to recent data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), around 60% of jobs in advanced economies are exposed to the effects of AI , a trend that will most likely affect high-skilled professionals and reshape the labor market.   In healthcare, the rise of generative AI is accelerating drug

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) has revolutionized multiple industries since its widespread availability in the early 2020s. Harnessing deep neural network systems, these models synthesize data and generate various creative outputs such as images, texts, and music. However, despite their immense commercial potential, LLMs have largely remained controlled by a handful of tech giants, such as OpenAI and Google.
