Meta’s Yann Lecun: Countries in the joint open source must contribute
Artificial intelligence has increased to the top of the diplomatic agenda in the past two years.
Among the leading topics of discussion between researchers and executives in the field of technology and policy makers is how open source models-which are free for anyone to use and modify them.
At the AI Action Summit in Paris earlier this year, the chief of Amnesty International in Meta, Yan Lacon, said he wants to see a world “we will train our open source platforms in a distributed manner with data centers scattered all over the world.” Each of them will be accessible to its data sources, which may be maintained by confidentiality, but “they will contribute to a common model that is mainly a warehouse of all human knowledge.”
This warehouse will be greater than any one entity, whether it is a country or a company, to deal with it. India, for example, may not give up a set of knowledge that includes all the languages and dialects that are spoken there to a technical company. However, they will be happy to contribute to training a big model, if possible, this is the open source. “
To achieve this vision, although “countries should be really careful in regulations and legislation.” He said that countries should not hinder the open source, but prefer that.
Even for closed episode systems, the CEO of Openai Sam Altman said the international organization is very important.
“I think there is time in the non -far -long future, like we are not talking about contracts and contracts from now, as Frontier AI systems are able to cause great global harm,” said Germans in Podcasts.
Altman believes that these systems will have a “negative impact to beyond the world of one country” and said he wants to see them organized by “an international agency looking at the strongest systems and ensuring a reasonable safety test.”
