The Implications of Open-Source AI: Should You Release Your AI Source Code Publicly?

I am VP of Product Delivery at Reface – AI-app to swap faces on videos, GIFs, and images. As humanity continues to implement new AI-solutions into many industries, the question of these projects' usefulness and ethics is still often debated. Experts emphasize that developers of any new AI-tool must check its for goodness', be responsible for its safety and consider its potential risk of harm. Still, the question of who should control the creation and use of new AI-technologies, specifically in synthetic media and deepfake tools, remains open. And secondly, is there a risk of making the code of new tools available to the general public?
