By naming it "OpenAI" they've implied what their value system is, namely point 1 in your above list. Putting "open" in the name implies libre/free/open sensibilities, in that the harm from releasing technology that could be used harmfully is outweighed by democratizing the technology and allowing everyone to use it for a variety of reasons, including for good and to combat bad actors. Openness, in the libre/free sense, is also making sure to minimize gatekeeping or putting the creators in a position of making judgements about what's good an what's not. All the other points you list are ancillary. OpenAI is a prime example of "open-washing". OpenAI got good will from the community by implying they were open (free/libre) and then hid behind all the other points you listed to not commit to openness. If they wanted to have a discussion about the moral hazard of AI and their business model was to create a walled garden where only approved scientists, engineers and researchers had access to the data and code, that's their prerogative, just don't name it "OpenAI". |
