Ben Brooks is a Research Fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, specializing in Artificial Intelligence Policy and Open-Source Regulation. His work focuses on bridging the gap between Emerging Technologies and Legislative Frameworks, with a particular emphasis on National Security Implications and International Governance. Previously, he served as Head of Public Policy for Stability AI, a leader in open-source AI models like Stable Diffusion, and has advised decision-makers globally on regulatory responses to AI models.
Brooks' research explores the intersection of Technological Decoupling and Open Innovation, analyzing how open-source AI models can both democratize capabilities and create dependencies on specific jurisdictions. His recent publications examine the economic and security ramifications of open-sourcing frontier models, including Meta's Llama and DeepSeek's R1, with a critical lens on CBRN risks, Cybersecurity, and Model Modification Vulnerabilities.
Key themes in his work include:
- AI Regulation: Advocating for calibrated interventions over blanket restrictions
- Global Governance: Proactively addressing strategic competition with China's open-source initiatives
- Economic Impact: Promoting open models as tools for U.S. technological dominance
- Policy Frameworks: Balancing transparency, modification, and liability in open-source ecosystems
