SAN FRANCISCO – Mark Zuckerberg came out swinging against Anthropic and OpenAI, two of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence start-ups, saying the way they developed AI software could lead to a centralisation of power that would narrow people’s access to the transformational technology.
In an interview on July 28 , the 42-year-old chief executive of Meta did not call out Anthropic and OpenAI by name. But he said that if leading research labs wanted to develop AI technology in a tightly controlled manner – as Anthropic and OpenAI have done – it would be akin to “abandoning our values” in American tech development and stifle innovation.
