Enable meaningful independent scrutiny

A dated record of the request, related evidence and what still needs to be established.

Research follow-up

What was asked?

Broader access, transparency, independent research and public scrutiny across open-source and open-science approaches.

Who would need to act?

Research funders, developers and policymakers

What would count as delivery?

Documented access for independent work, plus evidence about both benefits and misuse.

What the record currently supports

A 2024 position paper proposes assessing the marginal risks of open models. It is a related research development, not proof that the statement’s goals were delivered.
