They did it. They're passing the worst version of the AI law. Thats the end for open source AI! If this passes, all AI will be closed source, and only from giant tech companies. Im sure they will find a way to steal your stuff "legally".
Did you read the documents? It's not as bad as what you're saying.
It looks like the prohibited acts (section 6) specifically mention for commercial purposes where attribution markers are separated from the content. So, commercial AI software that doesn't retain these markers or copyright marker removal done to mislead or affect in a commercial way would be against the law in 2 years.
I don't see how this affects anything open source related. The way I understand it is that this will just force commercial applications to adapt to this and move on.
oh cool, nevermind then. However, most open source AI is done for commercial purposes, so it will still cripple the ecosystem.
