AI Verified The sentence is real and appears verbatim in Lawfare’s June 7, 2024 article “AI Safety Laws Are Not (Necessarily) a First Amendment Problem,” which is bylined to Peter N.

AI Verified Verified via web search. Quote is from Alan Z. Rozenshtein's Lawfare article 'There Is No General First Amendment Right to Distribute Machine-Learning Model Weights.' Direct fetch returned 403 but search confirms Rozenshtein (UMN law professor, Lawfare research director) is the author and that the article describes SB 1047 as forbidding 'the release of a frontier model that could be easily induced to output detailed instructions for making a bioweapon.' Vote 'for' on 'Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs' aligns with his defense of SB 1047's restrictions against First Amendment challenges. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
