As AI continues to transform industries, companies are increasingly building their AI systems using open-source AI models. However, with this rapid expansion comes complex challenges—particularly in understanding the legal risks and compliance implications of using specific open-source models. Critical factors like model lineage and training data are often hard to track, and the legal risks tied to these elements are only growing, especially with regulations like the upcoming EU AI Act.
