Zuckerberg Calls NYT Reporter to Oppose Closed-Source AI After 3-Year Gap

Summary
Mark Zuckerberg called New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac last week to argue that closed-source AI is the wrong path for the industry and society.
Meta is pushing the opposite model, saying AI systems should be developed openly so more people can build on and advance the technology.
Isaac said Zuckerberg had not called him on the record in 3 years, making the outreach itself notable as a deliberate effort to shape the public debate.
The Meta chief also gave interviews to The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, underscoring a broader media push as competition with OpenAI and Anthropic intensifies.
