Tencent AI Chief Warns Advanced Systems May Soon Be Able to Cause Biological Harm

Tencent chief AI scientist Yao Shunyu warned that artificial intelligence systems may soon reach reasoning and coding levels that allow them to cause real-world harm in biological and cyber realms. Yao also suggested Tencent may not open-source its Hunyuan model if it becomes the top global AI model, noting that openness is often used by models not yet in a leading position to attract developers.
