Google engineer concerned about open-source AI gaining edge According to a
critique written by a senior software engineer at Google, the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) development
is threatened by the open-source community. The engineer contends that independent researchers in open-source technology
are making swift and unforeseen strides in AI technology.
In early April,
software engineer Luke Sernau published a document on an
internal system. The document was subsequently
shared extensively among Google employees over the next few weeks.
A source, who requested anonymity as they were not permitted to discuss internal company affairs,
claimed that the document
had been circulated thousands of times. On Thursday, the document was published by consulting firm
SemiAnalysis and began to circulate in Silicon Valley.
