AI Verified Verified: the source URL itself, a Science|Business article dated September 5, 2023, contains the exact sentence, “Any and all safeguards can and will be removed within days of a large model being open-sourced,” and attributes it to “Kevin Esvelt, a biosecurity expert at MIT...” MIT’s faculty page identifies that same researcher’s full name as Kevin M. Esvelt, so the attribution matches the named author.
