Latest update (11-07 16:45): Yann LeCun argues against regulating AI research and warns of corporate control

Overview: Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist, argues on X that regulators should not restrict AI research and development, and that rules should instead target how AI products are deployed. He says Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis and Dario Amodei are lobbying for regulatory capture, and that limiting open AI R&D would concentrate the technology in a few companies. LeCun also says most academics favor open research and that AI systems can be built to be safe and under control. The post is his own statement; no response from the named executives is reported.
