Explained in plain English
The idea of 'open source' means the underlying code for an AI, like the tech behind Google Photos' Video Remix, is freely available for anyone to view, modify, and share. This contrasts with 'closed source' where the code is kept private. Many developers believe open source fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing more people to build upon and improve AI tools.
