At the risk of reviving the training data access thread, I’m very confused by what seems like an inconsistency in this document. The What is Open Source AI? section includes the following as a precondition to exercise the freedoms that an Open Source AI provides:
But the Checklist to evaluate legal documents lists model data in the optional section.
I’m not going to argue for one or the other, in large part because I haven’t decided where I stand on the question myself, but it seems to me that either
- The model data (or at least some of the sub-items underneath) can’t be optional because it’s a precondition to Open Source AI -or-
- The model data shouldn’t be listed as a precondition.
Or perhaps there’s some nuance that I’m missing here. But if it’s not clear to me, I expect there will be others who find it unclear as well.
