Open-sourcing frontier AI sparks debate over safety and freedom

Experts are debating the risks of open-sourcing frontier AI models, noting that while it promotes competition, removing safety guardrails via jailbreaks makes them highly dangerous for cyber and bio threats. Commentators argue that superalignment must be achieved before releasing ASI, as an unrestricted model blindly executing user commands poses catastrophic risks.
