The White House is coming out in favor of “open-source” artificial intelligence technology, arguing in a report Tuesday that there’s no need right now for restrictions on companies making key components of their powerful AI systems widely available. The report sought by President Joe Biden is the U.S. government’s first to delve into a tech industry debate between developers who advocate closing off the inner workings of their most advanced AI models to guard against misuse, and others who have lobbied for a more open approach they say favors innovation.
Today I found out the White House actually thinks it has power over open source software. What a crock of shit.
