Open-source AI will make it difficult for terrorists to take control the world, according to Yann LeCun of Meta.
Yann informed Wired that much funding and resources would be required to make it happen.
He made reference to the American embargo on chip exports, saying, “In fact, even China doesn’t do it because there’s a ban.”
Yann LeCun was a joint recipient of the 2018 Turing Award with Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio.
His statement holds the assurance as well as the possibility that Open Source AI / Gen AI can be or cannot be used for terrorists to attack countries.
But there is another point of view where AI would advance and can take a human lead, but not soon, at least in the coming 5-10 years.
Yann LeCun’s reassurances about open-source AI security dance a delicate tango with reality. While resource barriers may indeed pose significant hurdles for nefarious actors, dismissing the risks entirely would be foolhardy. The complexities of AI and the ever-evolving landscape of regulation leave a sliver of vulnerability, a chink in the armor waiting to be exploited.
Robust security protocols, responsible development practices, and open dialogue between developers, governments, and the public are crucial steps in this high-stakes dance. We must navigate this uncharted territory with both ambition and caution, ensuring that open-source AI becomes a key to a brighter future, not a Pandora’s box unleashing chaos.
