Hello and welcome to Eye on AI.
As the AI industry has blossomed, it’s also fractured into camps around the idea of openness. Advocates for the open-source approach to AI say it promotes innovation and provides vital transparency, while those against argue that open-sourcing these powerful technologies leaves them open for misuse. Lately, critics have argued that many of the prominent so-called “open” AI technologies aren’t so open after all, and that the word has become more an object of marketing than a technical descriptor.
