Naval suggests legislation: Open models required if trained on open web
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-08-16
Naval suggested in an interview that if AI companies (like Anthropic/OpenAI) train on the open web and data, the government should require them to open-source their models after a certain period (e.g., 12 months). He criticized Anthropic for preaching doom while trying to keep "God" to themselves, arguing against letting a few control and interpret the technology like priests.
