Zhou Hongyi Calls for a Rational Perspective on AI Large Models


A recent poll shows that concerns about the rapid development of AI have crossed party lines among U.S. citizens. Most people believe the government should prioritize ensuring AI remains under human control and strengthen protection for workers. 64% of respondents said AI development is too fast, while only a small number felt the pace was appropriate or too slow. Concerns about the risk of AI becoming uncontrollable by humans are driving demands for regulation, making it a central issue in public policy. Several leading tech executives have also called for stronger governance.
The South Korean National Assembly passed an amendment to the Personal Information Protection Act, allowing AI developers to use personal data within a limited scope after review by the Personal Information Protection Committee, breaking the previous rigid requirement that data be used for AI development only with individual consent. This move addresses long-standing industry complaints, as exemptions were previously limited to a few scenarios such as voice fraud prevention and autonomous driving, with short durations. The new regulations expand the available data space for AI development.
A Game Oracle study of 9,879 games finds those openly using AI in development receive significantly fewer total player reviews than purely human-made ones, suggesting AI may damage reputation. After filtering out junk, 17.9% disclosed AI use; controlling variables still yields negative results.....

Among them, three high-performance models, GLM5, MiniMax2.5, and Kimi2.5, will end their limited-time free public testing.
