Meta Wants To Share AI With Everyone By Open Sourcing This Work

Meta believes that artificial intelligence (AI) should be available to everyone, not just a few big companies. That’s why they’re working hard to open AI to the public.

Open AI is good for everyone:

  • More people can use AI: When AI is open, more people can learn about it and use it to solve problems.
  • Power is shared: Open AI prevents a few big companies from controlling all the AI technology.
  • AI is safer: By working together on AI, we can ensure its safety for everyone to use.

Meta is leading the way:

  • New AI tools: Meta is releasing new AI tools called Llama 3.1 that are better than ever.
  • AI safety: Meta is testing its AI carefully to ensure its safety.
  • Helping others: Meta provides tools and information to help companies develop safe AI.

Meta wants to create a world where AI helps everyone, and they’re committed to making that happen.
