This chapter discusses the ongoing debate between the pro-open-source AI community and AI safety experts. It highlights recent events and focuses on the arguments made by high-profile members of the AI community, including accusations of fear-mongering and potential consequences of banning open AI.
The war of words between the AI safety advocates on the one side and the AI open source advocates on the other has gotten increasingly contentious. This week, Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yan LeCun accused the leaders of Google DeepMind, OpenAI and Anthropic of stoking fears around AI in order to provoke a response from regulators that would be beneficial to their businesses and bad for open source competitors.
