Twitter co-founder and Block CEO Jack Dorsey just dropped a detailed essay on where he thinks artificial intelligence should be heading. He’s all in on open models, independent research, and firmly against slapping industry-wide caps on computing power.
Open Models, Not Gatekeeping
Dorsey’s big push is for open-source AI models and independent teams—he doesn’t want AI development locked up by a handful of big players. He argues that this approach gets more of the community involved and keeps the door open for fresh ideas and new ways of doing things.
No Blanket Compute Limits for the Industry
The main point of his essay? Ditch the idea of one-size-fits-all compute limits across the entire AI sector. Dorsey warns that trying to “hit the brakes” for everyone could kill competition and make it even harder for researchers—especially those outside the big tech hubs—to get the resources they need.
Calling Out Centralized Control
Dorsey’s not shy about his concerns: he says AI tech shouldn’t be under the thumb of just a few companies or governments. When control gets concentrated, competition suffers and researchers lose access. His solution? Double down on openness and distributed development so no single entity can call all the shots.
