Open Source Definition for AI Models Need a Change
|
||||
======
|
||||
Do you think that the open-source licenses should evolve?
|
||||
We started the year 2023 with **Artificial Intelligence (AI) being one of the biggest catches** , we also saw many companies going all in into this.
|
||||
|
||||
Take for instance **Mozilla** , who entered 2023 with [plans to work on open-source AI][1] to develop various types of AI-powered solutions, or even **HuggingChat** , the [first open source alternative to ChatGPT][2].
|
||||
|
||||
Even Meta is no stranger to that, they have their [**Llama 2**][3] large language model (LLM) that has been making waves all year round, they even announced a **[**ChatGPT contender**][4]** a few months back.
|
||||
|
||||
However, many have [raised questions][5] that **Meta's Llama 2 is not as open as one would expect** , and that does seem the case when one looks at its open-source license.
|
||||
|
||||
The license **doesn't allow using Llama 2 for services that have over 700 million daily users** , and it also **cannot be used to train other language models**.
|
||||
|
||||
This also means that Meta's license for **Llama 2 doesn't meet all the requirements of the Open Source Initiative's (OSI)[Open Source Definition][6]**.
|
||||
|
||||
One can argue that open-source licenses implemented by the likes of [EleutherAI][7] and [Falcon 40B][8] are a good example of how open source licensing should be handled for AI.
|
||||
|
||||
But, Meta has a different take on it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
### Open Source Licensing Needs to Evolve
|
||||
|
||||
In conversation with [The Verge][10], the VP for AI research over at Meta, [**Joëlle Pineau**][11] defended their stand.
|
||||
|
||||
She says that there is **a need to balance between the benefits of information sharing** and the **potential costs that could be incurred to Meta's business**.
|
||||
|
||||
This approach to open source has allowed their researchers to take a more focused approach in handling their AI projects. She also adds:
|
||||
|
||||
> Being open has internally changed how we approach research, and it drives us not to release anything that isn’t very safe and be responsible at the onset.
|
||||
|
||||
Joëlle also hopes that they can have the same level of enthusiasm with their generative AI models that they have seen in the past with their [**PyTorch**][12] initiative,
|
||||
|
||||
But, the **problem lies with current licensing schemes**. She adds that, these licenses were not meant to work with software that leverage large amounts of data from a multitude of sources.
|
||||
|
||||
This in turn gives **limited liability to both the users and the developers** , with **limited indemnity to copyright infringement** (read as: protection against).
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, she added that:
|
||||
|
||||
> AI models are different from software because there are more risks involved, so I think we should evolve the current user licenses we have to fit AI models better.
|
||||
|
||||
> But I’m not a lawyer, so I defer to them on this point.
|
||||
|
||||
I do agree with her on that, there is a need to update current licenses to better fit AI models, among other things.
|
||||
|
||||
And it appears that **the OSI are already on the job**. [**Stefano Maffulli**][13], the executive director of OSI, has told The Verge that they understand that the **current OSI-approved licenses are not up to the job for AI models**.
|
||||
|
||||
They are in the process of reviewing how to work with AI developers to provide a “ **transparent, permissionless, yet safe** ” access to models.
|
||||
|
||||
He also added that:
|
||||
|
||||
> We definitely have to rethink licenses in a way that addresses the real limitations of copyright and permissions in AI models while keeping many of the tenets of the open source community.
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless of what happens, it is clear that **open-source standards will have to evolve to accommodate new and emerging tech** , while not being just limited to AI.
|
||||
|
||||
I am looking forward to how the open-source licensing changes in the coming years.
|
||||
|
||||
_💬 What about you? Do you think that older open-source standards need to be updated?_
