AI systems are fast becoming a basic infrastructure.
Historically, basic infrastructure always ends up being open source (think of the software infra of the internet, including Linux, Apache, JavaScript and browser engines, etc)
It's the only way to make it reliable, secure, and customizable.
Future AI assistants will mediate everyone's interaction with the digital world. This is way too foundational and powerful to be proprietary.
In the future, AI assistants will constitute the repository of all human knowledge. If we want it to represent all the world's knowledge and culture, the training and fine-tuning will have to be crowd sourced. Just like Wikipedia.

Based @ylecun "AI is going to become a common platform... it needs to be open source if you want it to be a platform on top of which a whole ecosystem can be built And the reason why we need to work in that mode is that this is the best way to make progress as fast as we can"
