Naval suggests AI companies trained on open web should open-source models after 12 months

Naval proposes a regulatory framework: if AI companies like Anthropic or OpenAI train on the open web, the government should mandate they open-source their models after a certain period (e.g., 12 months).
He argues it is unfair to let a few act as "priests" controlling "God" and interpreting the Bible for everyone else. He specifically calls out Anthropic for preaching doom while building proprietary, closed models.
