Nikesh Arora on Open Source AI and Enterprise Auditability
Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora discussed how enterprises are gravitating toward open-source and open-weight models to maintain explainability, auditability, and the ability to interrogate model chains of thought for regulators.
“We preference open source, open weight, because it allows us to modify the weights and train them. And something which most people don't talk about is it allows us to interrogate the chain of thought.”
