Meta's Chief AI Scientist on AI legislation: too early to focus on product level

In today's world of ever-changing technologyartificial intelligence (AI)(AI) As a strategic technology leading the future, its development and application have attracted much global attention. However, as AI technology continues to break through, the risks and challenges it poses are becoming increasingly prominent. At the recent Davos Forum, the potential and risks of generative AI became a hot topic of discussion, in which theMetaThe company's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, and head of global affairs, Nick Clegg, had thought-provoking perspectives.

Yann LeCun emphasized that AI technology has not yet reached the level of human intelligence. He said that although AI has made significant progress in certain areas, it still takes a long time of research and exploration to reach the level of human intelligence. Therefore, it is still too early for strict legislation on AI. He argued that regulating AI now could hinder the progress of the technology and emphasized the need to focus on the level of AI products rather than research and development.

Nick Clegg, on the other hand, called on global lawmakers to regulate AI products at a level other than research and development. He argues that regulation of research and development could hinder innovation and development of the technology. Only those who believe that AI systems will dominate the world will feel the need to regulate the research and development level.

The views of the two experts suggest that the time is not yet ripe for strict legislation on AI. With AI technology not yet fully mature and popularized, overly strict regulation may inhibit innovation and development of the technology. Therefore, the current focus should be on the regulation of AI products to ensure the safety and controllability of the technology.

However, with the continuous development and popularization of AI technology, the regulation of AI also needs to be gradually strengthened. In future development, we need to encourage technological innovation while strengthening the regulation and supervision of AI to ensure the sustainable development of the technology and the maximization of social value. Only in this way can we fully utilize the enormous potential of AI to promote the progress and development of human society.
