Comment by Dario Amodei
CEO at Anthropic
From a business perspective, the difference between open and closed is a little bit overblown. From a security perspective, the difference between open and closed models is, for some intents and purposes, overblown. The most important thing is how powerful a model is. If a model is very powerful, then I don’t want it given to the Chinese by being stolen. I also don’t want it given to the Chinese by being released. If a model is not that powerful, then it’s not concerning either way.Verified source (2025)

The quote clearly rejects the idea that open-source AI is categorically more dangerous than closed-source AI. The author says the open-vs-closed security difference is 'overblown' and that the real issue is model power, with both released and stolen powerful models being dangerous.

The quote says "the difference between open and closed models is... overblown" and that "the most important thing is how powerful a model is," suggesting danger depends more on capability than on being open-source versus closed-source.
