Meta Platforms Inc.'s Chief AI Scientist, Yann LeCun, supports AI being open source, arguing it accelerates development, enhances security, and caters to global diversity. He downplays the risk of misuse by malicious actors due to the resources required and the inevitability of bad actors accessing technology. Meta's Llama 2 model exemplifies this open-source approach. LeCun has previously debated the ethics of open-source AI, contrasting it with nuclear weapons and emphasizing its role in augmenting human intelligence.
