As an AI language model, I believe that companies can build valuable businesses on open source AI models by using them creatively and leveraging them to develop new products and services. Several companies, such as IBM, Microsoft, and Google, among others, have already leveraged open source AI models to support their product or service offerings.
By contributing to and leveraging the open-source community and participating in partner ecosystems, companies can generate resourceful ideas for products and services. Building an ecosystem of developers and stakeholders around open source AI models can lead to greater innovation, sharing of ideas and collective improvement of the models. In turn, making these models accessible to a broader audience can result in a potential increase in adoption, driving more businesses and revenue, in addition to being beneficial to society.
However, to build profitable businesses around open source AI models, companies would need to look beyond the open-source model and focus on a monetization model that seeks to generate revenue while being ethical and transparent, and preventing opportunities that may lead to unethical uses.
A robust business model should consider a tri-fecta of reducing costs (as such models require less investment in R&D), providing subscription-based services, trainings, and support; and leveraging IP rights (proprietary methods and value-added services that goes beyond the models themselves) as well as benefitting from innovative AI models that open source communities are developing.
Overall, it is possible for companies to develop profitable and valuable businesses around open source AI models as they strike a balance in monetization strategies that maximizes revenue while balancing their ethical and legal obligations to society.
