Meta's Open-Source AI Tech Sparks Debate Among Rivals and Industry Leaders.

Meta has released its latest AI technology, LLaMA, as open-source software, allowing outsiders to build chatbots of their own. While rivals like Google and OpenAI have become increasingly secretive about their AI products, Meta believes that sharing its underlying AI engines is the smartest way to move faster towards the future. However, critics argue that an unfettered open-source approach is dangerous, as AI tools like chatbots can be used to spread disinformation and hate speech.
