The Guardian piece says Silicon Valley is split over AI’s future just as open-source models from China are reshaping the debate.
Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk all recently amplified the case for open-source AI. Huang said open models strengthen safety, cybersecurity, innovation, diffusion, and sovereignty, and his post linked to a Microsoft-backed open letter signed by companies and investors including SpaceX, Nvidia, Palantir, and Andreessen Horowitz.
The article also touches on the EU’s pressure on Google over antitrust and the broader wave of lawsuits around social-media addiction.
