Meta Reconsiders AI Open-Source

Meta Reconsiders AI Open-Source

30 July 2025

Meta is rethinking its approach to open-sourcing its most advanced AI models, hinting that its 'superintelligence' AI may not be fully accessible. This marks a shift from the company's previous commitment to open-source AI development. Meta will be more selective about which AI models it releases to the public.

This decision is driven by concerns surrounding the potential safety risks associated with broadly sharing superintelligence. Meta believes that while the benefits of superintelligence should be widely available, careful consideration must be given to mitigating potential risks. The company aims to strike a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring responsible AI deployment.

Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has previously championed open-source AI as the path forward, but now emphasises a more cautious approach. This change in strategy reflects the increasing awareness of the potential implications of highly advanced AI and the need for rigorous safety measures. Meta is investing heavily in its Superintelligence Labs, with a focus on 'personal superintelligence' delivered through devices like smart glasses.
