Researchers propose 'copyleft' rules for generative AI

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges for the free and open-source software (FOSS) community, a global network committed to creating and maintaining publicly available software that anyone can use, modify and share. Many AI models have been built on open-source software but do not reciprocate the transparency that the FOSS community's principles require, leaving open-source developers uncertain about how these AI tools are using their code.
