重新定义AI领域的开放性,超越开源软件范式。

Opening the Scope of Openness in AI

  • 从98个开放性概念中构建AI开放性分类体系
  • 发现现有AI开放讨论存在实践与理论脱节
  • 适合关注AI伦理、政策与跨学科研究者

AI领域的开放性长期受开源软件理念影响,被赋予协作创新与透明等正面含义。然而,开源实践难以完全适用于AI,因其面临独特挑战。本文通过主题建模分析98个开放性概念,提出一个面向AI的开放性分类框架。该框架用于定位当前讨论中的空白与关联,揭示不同学科对开放性的理解差异。研究呼吁跳出开源范式,从行动、系统属性和伦理目标三维度构建更全面的AI开放性认知,为相关政策与实践提供理论支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The concept of openness in AI has so far been heavily inspired by the definition and community practice of open source software. This positions openness in AI as having positive connotations; it introduces assumptions of certain advantages, such as collaborative innovation and transparency. However, the practices and benefits of open source software are not fully transferable to AI, which has its own challenges. Framing a notion of openness tailored to AI is crucial to addressing its growing societal implications, risks, and capabilities. We argue that considering the fundamental scope of openness in different disciplines will broaden discussions, introduce important perspectives, and reflect on what openness in AI should mean. Toward this goal, we qualitatively analyze 98 concepts of openness discovered from topic modeling, through which we develop a taxonomy of openness. Using this taxonomy as an instrument, we situate the current discussion on AI openness, identify gaps and highlight links with other disciplines. Our work contributes to the recent efforts in framing openness in AI by reflecting principles and practices of openness beyond open source software and calls for a more holistic view of openness in terms of actions, system properties, and ethical objectives.
