Zhipu AI founder Tang Jie says frontier artificial intelligence should remain broadly accessible and not be controlled by a small group of individuals. In an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg, Tang argues that the best way to manage the risks from increasingly powerful AI models is through broad participation, sharing, and oversight, rather than limiting access. The comments reflect an ongoing debate over whether advanced AI should be tightly controlled for safety or opened to wider researchers and institutions to improve monitoring and accountability.
Reporting from The Next Web adds that Tang’s position is sharply worded, stating that frontier AI should stay open to everyone. It also notes potential tension with the founder’s own government, implying that Chinese authorities may hold a different view on how openness and security should be balanced. Across both outlets, the central point is Tang’s call for broad access to frontier models and the framing of openness as a safety mechanism through wider involvement and scrutiny. The reporting does not provide specific policy details beyond the existence of differing perspectives.
