Why ‘open’ AI systems are actually closed, and why this matters | Nature

#AI #freesoftware #accountability #AIrisks #open | This paper examines ‘open’ artificial intelligence (AI). Claims about ‘open’ AI often lack precision, frequently eliding scrutiny of substantial industry concentration in large-scale AI development and deployment, and often incorrectly applying understandings of ‘open’ imported from free and open-source software to AI systems. At present, powerful actors are seeking to shape policy using claims that ‘open’ AI is either beneficial to innovation and democracy, on the one hand, or detrimental to safety, on the other. When policy is being shaped, definitions matter. To add clarity to this debate, we examine the basis for claims of openness in AI, and offer a material analysis of what AI is and what ‘openness’ in AI can and cannot provide: examining models, data, labour, frameworks, and computational power. We highlight three main affordances of ‘open’ AI, namely transparency, reusability, and extensibility, and we observe that maximally ‘open’ AI allows some forms of oversight and experimentation on top of existing models. However, we find that openness alone does not perturb the concentration of power in AI. Just as many traditional open-source software projects were co-opted in various ways by large technology companies, we show how rhetoric around ‘open’ AI is frequently wielded in ways that exacerbate rather than reduce concentration of power in the AI sector. A review of the literature on artificial intelligence systems to examine openness reveals that open AI systems are actually closed, as they are highly dependent on the resources of a few large corporate actors.

Connected by data | Global Citizen Deliberation on Artificial Intelligence: Options and design considerations

#governance #AI #participation | Read online or Download PDF This report explores how global citizen deliberation, particularly drawing on the concept of a global citizens’ assembly, could and should shape the future of artificial intelligence. Drawing on an extended design lab of in-depth interviews and workshops that took place in mid-2024, it presents a series of options that illustrate a variety of opportunities to bring the voices of those affected by AI development and deployment into decision-making spaces, through processes that can deliver informed and inclusive dialogue. The landscape of AI governance is rapidly evolving. There are open questions at many levels, from setting shared values and visions to guide AI development, to designing specific governance mechanisms or safety standards, and shaping the models and rules for individual and localized applications. There is growing consensus that these questions cannot be answered by the technology industry or individual governments alone. Global publics must be meaningfully involved. The concept of a global citizens’ assembly is a powerful one: inviting individuals from across the globe to join in processes where they have access to expert insights, opportunities to learn, and facilitated space to deliberate together, bringing diverse perspectives and experiences to bear on questions of global importance. In this report we address how established and emerging sites of global AI development and governance can integrate citizen deliberation, setting out five template options: deliberative review of AI summits and scientific reports; an independent global assembly on AI; a series of distributed dialogues organized across the globe; a technology-enabled collective intelligence process; and commissioning of AI topics in other deliberative processes. We present the strengths and weaknesses of these options, and outline additional design considerations they give rise to around recruitment, governance, agenda-setting, transnational dialogue and aggregation of findings, and the use of AI as a delivery tool. In doing so, we aim to support a critical assessment of emerging and future proposals for public participation on AI, both at the global and local level.

Evaluating Malicious Generative AI Capabilities

#AI #AIrisks #generativeAI | This CETaS Briefing Paper examines how Generative AI (GenAI) systems may enhance malicious actors’ capabilities in generating malicious code, radicalisation, and weapon instruction and attack planning. It synthesises insights from government practitioners and literature to forecast inflection points where GenAI could significantly increase societal risks. Unlike previous studies focused on technological change, this paper also considers malicious actors’ readiness to adopt technology and systemic factors shaping the broader context. It argues for a sociotechnical approach to AI system evaluation, urging national security and law enforcement to understand how malicious actors' methods may evolve with GenAI
