>If AI is a threat to anyone it's the size and reach of those who control it that makes it potentially dangerous. The important part is not the size and reach of the controlling entity. It is the motives of that entity. Microsoft is motivated by profit, but they are also motivated to continue to legally operate in almost every country in the world. They aren't going to use this technology in blatantly illegal ways and probably won't use it in actively harmful ways. Open sourcing this tech would allow it to fall into much more nefarious hands.
