Meta's chief AI scientist says all countries should contribute data to a shared open-source AI model

"Countries must ensure they are not impeding open source platforms, as Yann LeCun advocates for collaborative international regulation of open-source AI."

"LeCun envisions a distributed model where diverse data centers contribute to a shared repository of knowledge, enhancing the capabilities of open-source AI."

Yann LeCun, Meta’s chief AI scientist, asserts that open-source AI should serve as an international resource rather than be restricted by national regulations. Speaking at the AI Action Summit, he highlighted the need for distributed training of open-source platforms, allowing diverse data centers worldwide to contribute valuable local knowledge while maintaining confidentiality. This collaborative approach would create a comprehensive repository of human knowledge. LeCun stresses the importance of regulatory frameworks that support, rather than hinder, open-source development, calling for careful legislation to facilitate global cooperation in AI governance.
