Capital de TokensAI regulation could effectively ban open source
Watch on YouTube Hassabis insists that the rules must apply equally to open-source and closed models, but that requirement is inherently asymmetric. Why do you consider it asymmetric if the rule is the same for everyone? Because a corporation with billions of dollars can pay hundreds of auditors and lawyers to certify each version of its proprietary model before releasing it as a paid interface. Meanwhile, a group of independent researchers or a small startup that publishes an open model does not have the resources to go through such a complex certification process. Exactly, and moreover, the nature of open source is that once published, the model weights are freely distributed across the internet. If you require every open model to undergo prior government review under threat of sanctions, you are effectively banning the release of powerful open models.
