Normative Limits of Generative AI: A Comparative Study of Content Restrictions in Closed-Source and Open-Source Models
Öz
Generative artificial intelligence systems have become objects of urgent legal, ethical, and technical concern. This article offers a comparative analysis of the normative limits placed on the outputs of closed-source and open-source generative AI models. Drawing on literature spanning information technology law, platform governance, and comparative regulatory studies, the study contrasts the architectural, contractual, and statutory mechanisms by which content restrictions are operationalised across the two release paradigms. In closed-source models, normative authority sits with developers who enforce restrictions through API gating, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and usage policies. Open-source models rely on use-restricted licences whose enforceability collapses once weights are publicly disseminated. Statutory regimes such as Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, China's Interim Measures for Generative AI Services, and Türkiye's National AI Strategy 2021-2025 attempt to bridge these asymmetries through risk-based instruments, yet remain calibrated to centralised compute. The article argues that the most pressing normative challenge is the construction of polycentric, multi-stakeholder governance architectures that preserve legitimacy across both paradigms.
