Ethereum founder Vitalik recently discussed the direction of AI laboratory development. He believes that if a new AI laboratory is to be established, "enhancing human capabilities" should be the primary goal for clear positioning. In other words, systems with strong autonomy that can operate independently over the long term should not be developed. At the same time, he emphasized the importance of open source—keeping the code as open and transparent as possible. Vitalik pointed out that highly autonomous AI systems currently pose many hidden dangers, and this approach deserves the industry's attention. This view also reflects the Web3 community's deep thinking on AI governance.

V神, this set of theories sounds plausible, but who the hell would actually follow this when it comes to implementation? Open source is open source, anyway. Big companies have been stealing code for a long time. Instead of wasting effort on regulation, it's better to just lay everything out openly. Highly autonomous AI is indeed dangerous, but capitalists won't listen to that. Making money is the top priority. I don't really believe in this Web3 governance approach. To put it nicely, it collapses when faced with interests.

vitalik's really onto something here – human augmentation over autonomous agents is fundamentally the right move imo. been telling my students this exact thing for months now, and honestly? most people still don't get why open-source matters so much in this context. the transparency piece isn't just idealistic fluff, it's the actual guardrail we need.
