Zuckerberg Slams Centralization of AI Power, Backs Open Approach to Counter Anthropic and OpenAI
According to The New York Times, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly criticized the closed AI development route represented by Anthropic and OpenAI in an interview, stating that their strict control over AI technology will lead to a concentration of power, limit public access to this transformative technology, and is no different from "betraying American tech values." Zuckerberg stated that he is skeptical about the path of "building benevolent superintelligence through a single alignment mechanism" and advocates providing "personalized superintelligence" for everyone to adapt to different users' needs and values. He also pointed out that technological democratization has always been the trend in the history of the tech industry. It is worth noting that Meta's own AI strategy has also shifted recently—investing $14.3 billion in ScaleAI last spring and recruiting its founder Alexandr Wang, subsequently launching the first paid closed-source model Muse Spark, while continuing to maintain the open-source model line. This statement echoes NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's recent public strong support for open-source AI, with both sides forming a clear opposition to Anthropic and OpenAI in AI development philosophy.
