What Do We Mean When We say Open Source AI?
summary
Civic tech org Tattle builds datasets and ML tools for Indian misinformation and hate speech, including the Fuda analysis engine that layers a ResNet backbone with Google Cloud Vision API calls, and a project using a BERT-based model to detect gendered abuse in Indian languages. Claim: openness is compromised when apps sit atop pretrained models or proprietary data. Evidence: few groups build foundation models, industry share of closed models rises from 2014 to 2022, and contributor onboarding for ML remains too steep for typical open-source participation.
