The Danger of AI Model Collapse: When LLMs are Trained on Synthetic Content
👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

Navigating the world of AI can be a tightrope walk, especially when faced with the phenomenon of model collapse.
