In a recent article published in The Economist, entrepreneurs Martin Casado and Ion Stoica advocate for the significance of open-source and open standards in artificial intelligence (AI). They argue that the debate surrounding AI model design—whether to adopt closed-source or open-source software—represents a critical 'doctrinal dispute' in the field. The authors emphasize that open-source models foster innovation while maintaining security, suggesting that regulatory measures may hinder progress in AI development. Casado and Stoica highlight the potential of powerful frontier models, such as LLaMa3, to benefit from open-source principles.
