Many so-called "open" AI systems are not truly open, as companies fail to provide meaningful access or transparency about their systems, according to a paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, the AI Now Institute, and the Signal Foundation; the authors argue that the term "open" is used for marketing purposes rather than as a technical descriptor, and that large companies leverage their open AI offerings to maintain control over the industry and ecosystem, rather than promoting democratization or a level playing field.
