  Access to large-scale generalist AI systems that could be weaponized should be limited, meaning their code and neural network parameters should not be released open-source.

  Altman says keeping powerful models available only to a chosen few is not a good strategy. Bengio says access to systems that could be weaponised should be limited, and the weights not released. A chosen few is exactly what limiting access produces, and only one of them thinks that is the failure mode.
