Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, advocates for maintaining open-source artificial intelligence models in Europe, warning that restricting them would hinder progress. He emphasizes that open-source facilitates rapid innovation and collaboration while arguing that secretive research practices will lead to technological stagnation. LeCun believes that reliance on a limited number of corporations, especially those in the US and China, threatens the diversity and advancement of AI technology. His comments reflect concerns over emerging competitors, particularly a Chinese AI startup, that excel with open-source models.
"When you do research in secret, you fall behind. The rest of the world will go open source and will overtake you. That's currently what's happening"
"We cannot afford to have those systems come from a handful of companies from the West Coast of the US or China"
