Zuckerman vs Zuckerberg

July 14, 2024

Ethan Zuckerman is a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a scholar of digital media. He and his team work to understand the contemporary digital world and build social media systems that are focused on communities, not on profits. Ethan is currently suing Meta (i.e. Facebook) in a landmark case that might (and likely should) change our interpretation of section 230. Please tune in to hear the details of the case and the various ways it could change the social media landscape. It's fascinating!

Can AI even be open source? It's complicated

ZDNET

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

AI can't exist without open source, but the top AI vendors are unwilling to commit to open-sourcing their programs and data sets.

Mark Zuckerberg admitted: We're not pursuing open source out of altruism, though I believe it will benefit the ecosystem. We're doing it because we think it will enhance our offerings by creating a strong ecosystem..

Some argue that releasing pre-trained models without the training data is sufficient.

Others argue that true open-source AI should also include access to training data.

The OSI , with the help of 70 others, is wrestling to come up with a workable AI definition.

The goal is to present a stable version of the Open Source AI Definition at the next All Things Open conference in Raleigh , North Carolina .
