Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta and 25 Other Companies Sign Open Letter Urging U.S. Government to Support Open-Weight AI Models
Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, Meta and 25 other U.S. technology companies jointly signed an open letter urging the U.S. government to support open-weight AI models. The letter states that open-weight models can lower the barrier to advanced AI, foster market competition, and give users technological autonomy. It also emphasizes that openness is more conducive to AI safety than closure, as an open ecosystem can mobilize researchers to identify vulnerabilities. The letter further calls on policymakers to ensure the supply of computing power and public R&D resources, distinguish between legitimate model distillation techniques and illegal theft, and avoid excessive regulation that stifles innovation.
