The Trump administration's AI Action Plan, titled Winning the Race, emphasizes the importance of open-source AI models for maintaining U.S. technological dominance. It states achieving global technological superiority is a national security imperative. However, it encourages that these open-source models be freely accessible, raising questions about how to reconcile this with the aim of ensuring unchallengeable dominance. Open-source technology is portrayed as a catalyst for innovation, building on existing frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, with significant economic implications attributed to open-source software.
According to the January 2024 Harvard Business School study, if companies had to create equivalent technologies, rebuilding open-source software would cost $8.8 trillion.
Trump's AI Action Plan frames open-source and open-weight AI models as vital catalysts for innovation.
The AI Action Plan states it is 'a national security imperative for the United States to achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance'.
Am I the only one seeing a contradiction with 'unchallenged technological dominance' and open-source code and models to be made 'freely available' for anyone in the world?
