AI safety concerns have created tension around open-weight models, which are trained AI systems released to the public with little control over their use. Three prominent AI researchers discussed this issue at a conference, debating whether keeping AI open or closed better serves safety and innovation.

The researchers also agreed that some level of regulation would be necessary to ensure AI develops in ways that help people.
