If I were to try to give one prescription, it would be to promote openness, because AI is amazing technology and I want it to be in everyone’s hands.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly about promoting openness in AI, and the TechCrunch context frames Ng as arguing for keeping AI open, so it strongly signals a stance on a public-R&D/open-access policy rather than being merely adjacent.

AI Verified Against: Ng’s prescription is to “promote openness” because he wants AI “to be in everyone’s hands,” and the article frames him as arguing against gatekeepers and for “keeping AI open,” which conflicts with keeping the weights closed.
