Toward an Open, Responsible AI Economy
Introduction
We stand at the precipice of an AI revolution that promises to transform every industry and impact all of humanity. However, the current AI landscape is characterized by high barriers to entry, concentration of resources and benefits, and a lack of transparency and accountability. It is time for a new paradigm that ensures the AI economy is open to all and the benefits are shared by all participants.
Our Vision
We envision an open, responsible AI economy built on the principles of transparency, interoperability, autonomy, innovation, and collaboration. In this new paradigm:
- Data contributors are empowered to exercise their property rights and fairly compensated for their contributions.
- Computational resources are better organized and accessed, reducing costs and increasing supply.
- AI model developers have more control over how their models are used and extended.
- Built-in transparency, verifiability, and auditability benefit all stakeholders.
- Models are systematically assessed and evaluated based on objective criteria.
- Interoperability and composability pave the way for sophisticated autonomous agents.
- Collaborative learning is frictionless, accelerating the pace of innovation.
- Community governance gives all stakeholders a voice in the development of the ecosystem.
The Three Pillars
Openness
Responsibility
Prosperity
A Call to Action
We call upon all stakeholders in the AI ecosystem - foundation model providers, data contributors, computational power providers, AI model developers, AI model evaluators, AI service providers, and end users - to join us in building this new paradigm. Together, we can democratize AI and create a future where the benefits of this transformative technology are shared by all.
