    Not all "open source" AI models are actually open (Nature)

    Description:
    Nature looks
    at a recent paper on the openness of "open-source" language
    models. It is not yet clear how many of these models will fit the EU's
    definition of open source. Under the act, this would refer to
    models that are released under a "free and open" licence that, for
    example, allows users to modify a model but says nothing about
    access to training data. Refining this definition will probably
    form "a single pressure point that will be targeted by corporate
    lobbies and big companies", the paper says.
