Open-source software built much of the modern internet.

Linux, Apache, Kubernetes, and even the transformer architecture behind ChatGPT all spread because researchers and developers could study, modify, and improve them in public.

But AI is increasingly moving in the opposite direction, with the most powerful models distributed behind closed APIs, controlled by a small number of companies.

At the same time, China has emerged as one of the biggest contributors to open-source AI, while debates around safety, regulation, and access are becoming more politically charged.

And now those same tensions are extending into robotics, where AI is beginning to move off the screen and into the physical world.

Theo Jaffe and Sofia Puccini speak with Clem DeLong, CEO at Hugging Face.
