The Stichting Internet Archive congratulates the Swedish National Library on their work to improve Speech-to-Text using AI with their model KB-Whisper. Bravo! https://www.stichtinginternetarchive.nl/whispering-innovation-how-the-eus-legislative-framework-enables-ai-breakthrough-in-sweden/
KB-Whisper exemplifies AI’s potential to serve the public good. Bravo to the Swedish National Library! 👏
"More than 50,000 hours of TV, parliamentary speeches and dialects. This is what the training data for KB's new AI model looks like. KB-Whisper has learned a wide variety of Swedish and can quickly transcribe speech to text – which can contribute to both subtitles on TV and better searchability in the library's collections."
Today is "I love Free Software Day".
Thank you to the Free Software Foundation Europe for all their hard work to support and share the love of Free Software. Onwards! @stichtinginternetarchive@toot.community
Our digital librarian Brewster introduced the Stichting Internet Archive to partners and colleagues at a beautiful cafe in downtown Amsterdam where we hosted our first Dutch "borrel". We are looking forward to great collaborations in 2025 and beyond.
