Yann LeCun argues that exaggerated fears about AI are being used to lobby for regulations that would suppress open source AI, which he sees as essential for preserving cultural and linguistic diversity. He promotes Project Tapestry, a collaborative effort to train a global open source AI model while allowing participants to retain data sovereignty. LeCun compares restricting access to AI technology to medieval obscurantism, akin to limiting the printing press in the 15th century
