One of the dialectics relevant to the political and socioeconomic effect of Artificial Intelligence is that between proprietary technologies, i.e., owned by a company, and Open Source technologies, i.e., software in which the source code is made publicly available, allowing anyone to examine, modify, distribute and improve it free of charge.
The Open Source collaborative model fosters transparency and widespread innovation among thousands of small and medium-sized companies and public institutions, and spreads technology by allowing it to be developed by multiple players, not leaving it in the hands of a few corporations or monopolies. Open source also means open mind. A democratization of artificial intelligence technology can stimulate countless initiatives, visions and solutions, which are inhibited when the technology is only one, imposed from above by a multinational corporation.
An interesting perspective is that of the European Union, which has developed significant guidelines on standards, monopolies and technology families, promoting standard and open technologies.
