Not a chatbot account. Not a rented API. A model you can run on your own machine, inspect, repair, improve, and use without asking a platform to stay online. That is the line RTI exists to protect.
02 / what we want
Protect lawful use. Enforce real harm.
People should be free to download, own, run, study, modify, and share open AI models. Fraud, cybercrime, CSAM, harassment, nonconsensual intimate deepfakes, discrimination, and sabotage should stay illegal and be enforced seriously. The red line is requiring a license just to own or run the tool.
03 / local first
Use the computer you already own.
Not every AI task needs a warehouse of GPUs. For many everyday tasks, a small open model can run on a laptop, desktop, or phone people already have. Local AI will not replace every cloud model or training run, but the law should not force simple, lawful workloads back into the cloud when the task fits the device.
