Zuckerberg's company makes public the internal parameters of its AI systems. Meanwhile, CERN enters into an agreement with the French startup Mistral.
Meta has announced the opening of the 'weights' of its artificial intelligence models, making public the internal parameters that determine the functioning of its AI systems. This move represents a significant step towards greater transparency in the generative artificial intelligence sector, countering the secrecy policies of many other major tech companies.
Simultaneously, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research based in Geneva, has established a collaboration with Mistral AI, a French startup specializing in artificial intelligence. The agreement aims to explore AI applications in advanced scientific research, particularly in the analysis of large volumes of data produced by particle physics experiments.
The opening of AI model 'weights' represents a fundamental debate in the technology sector. 'Weights' are the numerical parameters that an artificial intelligence system learns during training and that determine its behavior. Until now, most large companies like OpenAI and Google have kept these parameters secret, considering them strategic intellectual property.
Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, has instead pursued a different strategy, arguing that open source in AI fosters innovation and safety. This philosophy contrasts with the positions of other industry leaders like Sam Altman of OpenAI, who recently stated that 'the world is right to be afraid' of AI and that we must accept 'some ugly things' in exchange for the benefits. Meta's choice comes at a time of intense global debate on the regulation of artificial intelligence and the risks associated with its uncontrolled proliferation.
