Comment by Edouard Harris

The recommendation to outlaw the open-sourcing of advanced AI model weights, they expect, will not be popular. Open source is generally a wonderful phenomenon and overall massively positive for the world, says Edouard, the chief technology officer of Gladstone. It’s an extremely challenging recommendation to make, and we spent a lot of time looking for ways around suggesting measures like this. […] If you proliferate an open source model, even if it looks safe, it could still be dangerous down the road, Edouard says, adding that the decision to open-source a model is irreversible. At that point, good luck, all you can do is just take the damage.
