Meta's Chief AI Scientist Clashes With Early OpenAI Investor Vinod Khosla: 'Clearly...Can Profit Financially From A Closed Source Approach To AI'
Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) Chief AI Scientist, Yann LeCun, took to X, formerly Twitter, expressing his disagreement with OpenAI's early investor, Vinod Khosla.
Meta Platforms Inc. 's(纳斯达克股票代码:META)首席人工智能科学家亚恩·勒昆在X(前推特)上表示不同意OpenAI的早期投资者维诺德·科斯拉。
What Happened: LeCun thinks that Khosla is a proponent of closed-source AI due to his financial motivations.
发生了什么:LeCun认为科斯拉之所以支持闭源人工智能,是因为他的经济动机。
"Clearly @vkhosla can profit financially from a closed approach to AI."
“显然,@vkhosla 可以从封闭的人工智能方法中获利。”
Khosla Ventures, founded by Vinod Khosla, is the first venture capital investor of OpenAI. In 2019, Khosla invested $50 million in OpenAI, making his largest bet by far in his 40-year history.
由维诺德·科斯拉创立的科斯拉风险投资公司是OpenAI的第一位风险投资者。2019年,科斯拉向OpenAI投资了5000万美元,这是他40年历史上迄今为止最大的赌注。
But LeCun thinks it's not just the financial factor that is behind Khosla's support for closed source AI. He thinks the China threat is playing a role, too.
但是 LeCun 认为,科斯拉支持闭源人工智能的不仅仅是财务因素。他认为中国的威胁也在起作用。
"But I don't think that his main reason to oppose open source frontier models. He is genuinely worried about China getting its hands on it," LeCun said.
“但我不认为这是他反对开源前沿模式的主要原因。他真的很担心中国会拿到它,” LeCun说。
However, he thinks Khosla's China concerns are "misguided."
但是,他认为科斯拉对中国的担忧 “被误导了”。
He argues that Chinese AI scientists and engineers are talented and capable of innovating independently. LeCun also highlights that the Chinese government is more worried about losing control of AI technology than their counterparts in liberal democracies.
他认为,中国的人工智能科学家和工程师才华横溢,能够独立创新。LeCun 还强调,与自由民主国家的同行相比,中国政府更担心失去对人工智能技术的控制。
LeCun, who has been a vocal supporter of open-source AI, thinks these platforms are essential for a diverse and democratic future, where everyone has access to a wide variety of AI assistants.
LeCun 一直是开源人工智能的坚定支持者,他认为这些平台对于多元化和民主的未来至关重要,在这种未来中,每个人都可以使用各种各样的人工智能助手。
"That future can *only* come about through open source AI platforms enabling a large diversity of fine-tuned systems."
“未来只能*通过开源人工智能平台实现,支持大量微调系统。”
Clearly @vkhosla can profit financially from a closed approach to AI.
But I don't think that his main reason to oppose open source frontier models.
He is genuinely worried about China getting its hands on it.
That worry is misguided.

Why It Matters: LeCun's comments come amid a global debate about the regulation and access to AI technology. Khosla, an early investor in Microsoft Corp.-backed OpenAI, has been vocal about the need to protect AI technology for national security reasons.
为何重要:LeCun的评论是在关于人工智能技术监管和准入的全球辩论中发表的。科斯拉是微软公司支持的OpenAI的早期投资者,他一直在大声疾呼出于国家安全原因需要保护人工智能技术。
He has clashed with other tech leaders, such as Marc Andreessen, over the open-sourcing of critical technologies like AI.
他曾就人工智能等关键技术的开源问题与马克·安德森等其他科技领袖发生过冲突。
Meanwhile, LeCun has been a strong advocate for open-source AI models, believing that they will one day overtake closed-source rivals.
同时,LeCun 一直是开源人工智能模型的坚定倡导者,相信它们有朝一日会超越闭源竞争对手。
His recent comments suggest a fundamental disagreement about the future of AI technology and its implications for global power dynamics.
他最近的评论表明,在人工智能技术的未来及其对全球力量动力学的影响方面存在根本分歧。
