Verification History

AI Verified CNAS source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but Google search snippet confirmed the exact quote text from the CNAS press note. Paul Scharre is CNAS executive vice president, matching the author bio. Vote alignment is correct: the quote argues that releasing open weights enables stripping safeguards (i.e. supports restrictions), aligning with the "for" vote on statement 198 "Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs". Year 2023 matches the timing of the Biden-Harris AI commitments announcement. No more recent equivalent quote found, but the 2023 one is well-sourced. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 17d ago
