At SIGGRAPH 2024, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang discussed the future of AI, with Zuckerberg expressing frustration over closed-source platforms and advocating for open-source AI. He emphasized the potential of AI to assist creators and small businesses by enabling them to create digital agents that can interact with their communities. This aligns with Meta's recent launch of Llama 3.1, the largest open-source AI model to date, which Zuckerberg believes will democratize AI and ensure equitable access. In a contrasting incident, Meta's AI faced criticism for initially failing to provide accurate information regarding an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, leading to a rapid revision of its response. Zuckerberg's advocacy for open-source technology reflects a shift in strategy for Meta, particularly in light of competition from companies like OpenAI and Google. His open letter titled 'Open Source AI is the Path Forward' outlines his vision for responsible and accessible AI development.
