Vitalik: Open source technology may alleviate the worsening inequality of technological power

According to reports from HashiChain, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik published an article pointing out that with the development of cutting-edge technologies such as life extension and gene editing, if only a few companies or countries control them, it could exacerbate global wealth disparities and power concentration. He suggested supporting the development of technology under open source conditions to become a mainstream viewpoint. Open source can not only enhance technological accessibility but also reduce vendor lock-in, increase security and transparency, and empower global users with production and verification rights. The article emphasizes that open source is an effective path to prevent technological abuse and power imbalance, suggesting that open source models should be prioritized when advancing new technologies.
