Bruce Sterling questions Eric Schmidt over 'intelligence wants to be free' pitch
Original: *So, "Intelligence Wants To Be Free," is that the story now, Eric? #OpenSource #UberAlles #ViaAI
Author and futurist Bruce Sterling is publicly taking aim at former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt's argument that artificial intelligence should be free and open, scoffing at the slogan 'intelligence wants to be free'. Sterling's short, pointed remark ties the idea to open-source advocacy and frames it as a questionable narrative coming from a major tech figure.
Why now: Sterling is a well-known tech critic, and his jab at Schmidt's stance on open AI taps into the current debate over whether powerful AI models should be freely available.
