Any and all new and burgeoning technologies that fundamentally change the world should be open sourced. It’s pros and cons rigorously debated amongst the Military, government and citizens. It’s implementation on a peer review basis based on the scope, understanding and open to public testing discretion of the professionals that created the technology. The final say on whether it should or should not be implemented and use cases should be brought forth by inventors and peer reviewed by professionals in field. Final say a vote by the general public before any mass implementation.

“Open sourcing” a technology helps other countries / people copy it.
If we share much about it, we can only decide whether we implement it, not whether other countries do.
Generally I think new technology will inevitably exist, and usually the best we can do is influence who controls it.
Our patent and trade secret systems are old and outdated. We regularly award monopolies to multi-hundred billion dollar companies. Trade secret protections seem to favor large companies over small ones. Etc.
Could you point to a particular technology where you think nobody should have access to it?
