  would disagree and say according to AI:

  As a computer scientist, I believe that requiring AI developers to always prioritize public interest over commercial interests could stifle innovation and progress. While public interest is important, commercial interests drive competition and investment in AI, leading to rapid advancements and new opportunities. A balance should be struck where ethical guidelines ensure responsible development, but innovation is not hindered by excessive regulation.
