Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has committed to making Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) widely accessible, but the company has outlined a careful strategy to mitigate the potential risks associated with such powerful technologies. In its Frontier AI Framework, Meta distinguishes between high-risk and critical-risk AI systems, with the latter capable of causing catastrophic harm, such as aiding in biological weapon development or compromising large-scale corporate cybersecurity. While Meta has embraced a more open approach to AI development, like releasing its Llama model, it recognizes the need for caution. The company will limit access to high-risk systems and implement mitigations before releasing them, while critical-risk systems will be withheld and secured to prevent further development until safer measures are in place. By considering both the benefits and potential harms, Meta aims to responsibly navigate the future of AI technology and its societal impact.
