Zuckerberg knocks AI development centralization, control

His comments come at a time when Washington is weighing tighter oversight of advanced AI systems while also increasing scrutiny of Chinese developers over allegations of intellectual property theft.

More than 1,000 employees at America’s leading AI companies, including senior staff and some co-founders at OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind, signed a new statement asking the U.S. government to help support international efforts to “deliberately pace” cutting-edge automated AI development.

The Meta CEO made the remarks in an interview with the Financial Times, entering a growing debate over how the United States should respond to China's accelerating AI capabilities while maintaining America's technological edge.

Top staffers from the biggest AI and technology companies urged the US government to slow the pace of artificial intelligence development so that safety and security measures can catch up in an open letter.
