• Title: Democratising AI: Multiple Meanings, Goals, and Methods
• Authors: Elizabeth Seger, Aviv Ovadya, Ben Garfinkel, Divya Siddarth, Allan Dafoe
• Abstract summary: Numerous parties are calling for the democratisation of AI, but the phrase is used to refer to a variety of goals, the pursuit of which sometimes conflict. This paper identifies four kinds of AI democratisation that are commonly discussed. Main takeaway is that AI democratisation is a multifarious and sometimes conflicting concept.

• Abstract: Numerous parties are calling for the democratisation of AI, but the phrase is used to refer to a variety of goals, the pursuit of which sometimes conflict. This paper identifies four kinds of AI democratisation that are commonly discussed: (1) the democratisation of AI use, (2) the democratisation of AI development, (3) the democratisation of AI profits, and (4) the democratisation of AI governance. Numerous goals and methods of achieving each form of democratisation are discussed. The main takeaway from this paper is that AI democratisation is a multifarious and sometimes conflicting concept that should not be conflated with improving AI accessibility. If we want to move beyond ambiguous commitments to democratising AI, to productive discussions of concrete policies and trade-offs, then we need to recognise the principal role of the democratisation of AI governance in navigating tradeoffs and risks across decisions around use, development, and profits.

• Why Companies "Democratise" Artificial Intelligence: The Case of Open Source Software Donations [0.0]
  Companies claim to "democratise" artificial intelligence (AI) when they donate AI open source software (OSS) to non-profit foundations or release AI models. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to investigate commercial incentives for 43 AI OSS donations to the Linux Foundation. It contributes a taxonomy of both individual and organisational social, economic, and technological incentives for AI democratisation.

Our analysis highlights the need for self-hosting options, high scalability, and openness. Our approach is more comprehensive and effective in meeting the requirements of democratizing AI than existing AI-as-a-Service platforms.

We identify and propose the roles AI Regulation should take to make the endeavor of the AI Act a success in terms of AI fairness concerns.
