Comment by Dame Wendy Hall
Computer science professor, UK
The thought of open source AGI being released before we have worked out how to regulate these very powerful AI systems is really very scary. In the wrong hands technology like this could do a great deal of harm. It is so irresponsible for a company to suggest it.

Verified: This is from Dame Wendy Hall, computer science professor at Southampton and member of the UN AI advisory body, in The Guardian, January 19, 2024, responding to Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that Meta would develop and open-source AGI. The Guardian URL was blocked by WebFetch but the exact quoted text is confirmed by multiple secondary outlets (Futurism, Yahoo, Tech Times, ITWorld Canada). Year 2024 is correct. The vote "against" on "Build artificial general intelligence" is a loose but defensible match - Hall is specifically alarmed about open-source AGI release before regulation, expressing skepticism about uncontrolled AGI development overall.
