The Importance of Open-Source AI

Open-source AI is seen as a necessary enabler for smaller companies and startups to compete in the AI industry. It allows for the creation of millions of jobs and prevents power from being concentrated in the hands of a few technology companies. While some argue that open-source AI poses safety risks, the same risks also apply to closed-source systems. The approach should be domain-specific, applying limitations where necessary.
