I think over the course of the next few years, certainly, but probably even faster because I don't think it's going to feel like something we can wait on. You're going to see a massively growing conversation about AI in the public sphere. We're already having the Biden administration floating test balloons. And so one part of the conversation will likely be around to what extent open source and just being open with the way that models are trained or parameters used within can make a difference. Anyways, guys, that is the reason that we're talking about open source AI right now. It's never a conversation that's too far from anyone's mind."
Some argue that open source AI is the key to making AI's benefits to the entire world, as well as making AI safer. Others think that open source can multiply risks. With a slate of new projects being announced this week, the conversation is heating up.
