The AI Now Institute publishes a Policy Brief signed by a large number of AI researchers arguing that GPAI carry serious risks and must not be exempt under the forthcoming EU AI Act. The policy brief does not contain any seperate considerations related to oOpen sSource AI and stresses that the AI act should include meaningful requirements throughout the entire GPAI product life cycle:
GPAI must be regulated throughout the product cycle, not just at the application layer, in order to account for the range of stakeholders involved. The original development stage is crucial, and the companies developing these models must be accountable for the data they use and design choices they make. Without regulation at the development layer, the current structure of the AI supply chain effectively enables actors developing these models to profit from a distant downstream application while evading any corresponding responsibility.
