Description:
Mark Zuckerberg has posted
an article announcing some new releases of the Llama large language
model and going on at length about why open-source models are important: AI has more potential than any other modern technology to increase
human productivity, creativity, and quality of life and to
accelerate economic growth while unlocking progress in medical and
scientific research. Open source will ensure that more people
around the world have access to the benefits and opportunities of
AI, that power isn't concentrated in the hands of a small number of
companies, and that the technology can be deployed more evenly and
safely across society. There is an ongoing debate about the safety of open source AI
models, and my view is that open source AI will be safer than the
alternatives. I think governments will conclude it's in their
interest to support open source because it will make the world more
prosperous and safer. Of course, whether Llama is truly open source
is debatable at best, but it
is more open than many of the alternatives.
