AI Verified Bloomberg’s indexed transcript snippet for the exact May 9, 2024 source URL contains the longer sentence, “So now I think we’re getting into a consensus that open source is not more dangerous than closed source and even more like the opposite.” The submitted quote is a verbatim excerpt of that sentence, and the page identifies the speaker as Hugging Face CEO Clém Delangue in conversation with Shirin Ghaffary, so the attribution is correct. ([bloomberg.com](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-05-09/hugging-face-ceo-talks-ai-innovations-and-transparency-video?utm_source=openai)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Unverifiable Bloomberg video URL returns 403 to WebFetch and is not transcribed in search results. Cannot directly verify the exact verbatim quote from the source. However, web search strongly confirms Clément Delangue's well-known position: he repeatedly argues open source is not more dangerous than closed source AI, and that concentration of power in few companies poses greater risk. Author attribution is correct (Hugging Face cofounder/CEO), and the "against" vote on statement 198 "Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs" aligns with his stance. Marking as ai_unverifiable due to inability to access video source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 2mo ago
