Any AI model that uses publically available information for training should be open source by law.
This business where corporations (that includes authors, who are published by huge corporations) fight over who "owns" ideas is assinine. When it comes down to it, this is a fight about money being wrapped in an argument about "ideas."
AI models were developed with the collective knowledge and wisdom of society. They're like libraries and should be public like libraries. OpenAI, Google, all those fucks should be forced to open source their models, end of story.
That doesn't make sense. The "source" of the AI model is the publically available information, which the creators have no right to redistribute.
The rules of Open Source simply do not work for AI models. You'd have to come up with some other rules.
Yeah, it ought to be owned by the people who contributed the work that trained it. But that's socialism. ... No really, that would literally be socialism.
