“…modify[ing] its AI model so that it traces attribution and gives credit to the original authors of the code, adding the associated copyright notices and license terms in the process…Biderman says is technologically feasible.”
Is it really feasible? What does “traces attribution” even mean here? It’s not emitting “code”, it’s emitting individual tokens that each were found throughout the input corpus. The “code” is the arrangement of those tokens, but that is determined by the weighting of the whole network, so what can be traced?
Can someone who understands generative ML better than me weigh in on this?
