Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, faces criticism for committing to develop an open-source artificial general intelligence (AGI) system, equalling human intelligence. Dame Wendy Hall, a UN advisory member, deems the prospect "really very scary" and labels it irresponsible. Experts warn of potential harm and stress the need for robust regulation before releasing such powerful AI systems. The decision to make AGI open source raises concerns about public safety and the role of tech giants in shaping AI's future. Zuckerberg defends the move, emphasizing the importance of openness, while critics argue for international consensus in shaping AGI decisions.
