The document discusses the evolution of supply chain security in relation to open source AI models, particularly highlighting the shift from in-house trained models to more flexible and accessible open-source alternatives like those provided by Hugging Face. It outlines both the benefits, such as cost-effectiveness and customization, and the risks, including data security vulnerabilities and a lack of attention from data scientists on security matters. The growing concerns of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) regarding these security challenges in open-source models are also emphasized.
