Description

The Politics of Open Models, that explores the contradictions of open models as a defining AI governance question.

Research blends critical AI studies and political economy of international communication with research-creation and commons theory to explore the contentious politics of open models as both a solution and threat for democratic accountability of AI technologies. Taking up this challenge, the five-year project analyzes emerging, governance of open AI models, collaborates in the development of new forms of model governance, and enhances democratic oversight of AI through commons-based governance theory.

The project will be lead at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University and the Chaire de recherche du Québec sur l'intelligence artificielle et le numérique francophones (IANF) with partners including MUTEK, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, and the Société des arts technologiques. Researchers include Jonathan Roberge, Bart Simon, ME Luka, Jennifer Pybus, Florence Millerand, and Patrick McCurdy.
