Executive summary: NTIA is seeking public comment on the risks, benefits, and potential policy implications of open-weight AI models, which allow developers to build upon and adapt previous work, in order to inform a report to the President with findings and policy recommendations.
Key points:
Open-weight AI models make powerful tools accessible, potentially accelerating innovation and the diffusion of AI’s benefits, but also pose risks to public safety and national security.
The Request for Comment seeks input on the varying levels of openness of AI models, and the benefits and risks of making model weights widely available compared to closed models.
The public is asked to comment on innovation, competition, safety, security, trustworthiness, equity, and national security concerns related to the openness of AI model weights.
The role of the U.S. government in guiding, supporting, or restricting the availability of AI model weights is also a topic for public input.
Comments are due within 30 days of publication in the Federal Register and will inform NTIA’s report to the President with findings and policy recommendations.
