Computer science professor, UK
The thought of open source AGI being released before we have worked out how to regulate these very powerful AI systems is really very scary. In the wrong hands technology like this could do a great deal of harm. It is so irresponsible for a company to suggest it.

Quote text confirmed via web search (Guardian blocks WebFetch). Dame Wendy Hall's quote about open source AGI being "really very scary" and being "irresponsible for a company to suggest it" is corroborated by multiple secondary sources reporting on her statement to The Guardian regarding Zuckerberg's open-source AGI plans. Vote "for" aligns with the statement "Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs" — Hall has explicitly compared open-sourcing models like Llama 2 to "giving people a template to build a nuclear bomb" and warns of harm in wrong hands. Year 2024 is acceptable as this is a specific dated reaction to Meta's January 2024 AGI announcement. Source URL is the primary source.
