Unpacking Open Source Artificial Intelligence: Toward a Framework for Openness in Foundation Models
Openness has long driven innovation in software,9 and AI is no exception.12 While some see openness in foundation models (FMs) as a security threat,18 others argue that restricting access will not meaningfully reduce risk and will limit the benefits of transparency, research, and global participation.3 As the EU AI Act reporting requirements on FMs—also referred to as general-purpose AI models (GPAIMs)—move toward implementation, there is an urgent need for a more nuanced and informed understanding of openness in AI systems.
Closing the Open-Source Gap
I scored 42 subcategories of the open-source AI stack. The models aren't the problem.
