How will AI development look in the future? There is a lot we can learn from another groundbreaking technology: the web. This blog post takes a look at what the history of the web can teach us, and what this means for developers, models, open source and regulation.

Explosion AI provides educational resources and tools for natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. Readers can find tutorials, documentation, and community forums on topics such as NLP libraries, text classification, and information extraction. Additionally, they can learn about building machine learning models, training pipelines, and deploying NLP applications.

Advancements in AI are drawing parallels to the history of the web. Key lessons include distinguishing between raising the floor (making technology accessible to more people) and raising the ceiling (investing in high-value, specialized development). The evolution from using static websites to dynamic, customizable sites mirrors the shift from using pre-trained AI models to custom models with better tooling, enabling high-value use cases while retaining control and privacy.
