Since AI came into our world,Uncut Archives creators have put a lead foot down on the gas. However, according to a new policy document, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg might slow or stop the development of AGI systems deemed too "high risk" or "critical risk."
AGI is an AI system that can do anything a human can do, and Zuckerberg promised to make it openly available one day. But in the document "Frontier AI Framework," Zuckerberg concedes that some highly capable AI systems won't be released publicly because they could be too risky.
The framework "focuses on the most critical risks in the areas of cybersecurity threats and risks from chemical and biological weapons."

"By prioritizing these areas, we can work to protect national security while promoting innovation. Our framework outlines a number of processes we follow to anticipate and mitigate risk when developing frontier AI systems," a press release about the document reads.
For example, the framework intends to identify "potential catastrophic outcomes related to cyber, chemical and biological risks that we strive to prevent." It also conducts "threat modeling exercises to anticipate how different actors might seek to misuse frontier AI to produce those catastrophic outcomes" and has "processes in place to keep risks within acceptable levels."
If the company determines the risks are too high, it will keep the system internal instead of allowing public access.

Still, they're not denying that the risks are there.
