Meta's Nick Clegg Defends Open-Source AI Model and Criticizes AI Language Models as 'Quite Stupid'

Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, has defended the release of an open-source AI model called Llama 2, stating that concerns about AI's dangers are exaggerated. Clegg argued that the models being open-sourced are far from super-intelligent and that Meta has taken precautions to ensure their safety. However, some experts have raised concerns about the potential misuse of open-source AI models. Clegg believes that open-sourcing AI models will make them safer by involving the "wisdom of crowds" and reducing the control of big tech companies.
