The Abundance Institute has published a policy framework for open-source and open-weight AI, along with new primers for policymakers. Its stated goals: keep AI model development open and competitive, hold people accountable for harmful conduct they actually control, and make the US the best place to build and use open models.
The framework pushes liability for conduct rather than models themselves — a representative pro-open-source stance in the regulatory debate.
