One problem with trying to preserve freedom wrt AI is that training on
large data requires a lot of computational resources. It would be nice if
there were some kind of non-profit organization ("FreeAI"?) where people
who want free AI pool their resources. I guess in this case it can't be
financed the same way as Wikipedia but there would have to be a
subscription fee.
