And I think that even more so because we’ve seen things like some of the most recent models maybe can help people make biological weapons.

AI Verified Observer’s interview page contains the exact sentence verbatim in Gary Marcus’s answer to the question about FDA-style A.I. regulation, and the article page is dated 05/31/25. The stored quote text, attribution to Gary Marcus, source URL, and date all match the source.

Disputed Observer’s May 31, 2025 interview does attribute the statement to Gary Marcus, but the source’s exact wording is: "some of the most recent models maybe can help people make biological weapons." In the article, that clause appears mid-sentence after additional words, so the submitted version is not verbatim as presented because it drops the lead-in without [...] and changes lowercase "some" to sentence-initial "Some."

AI Verified Verified via web search. The Observer article from May 31, 2025 ('Interview: Cognitive Scientist Gary Marcus' Lifelong Disillusionment with A.I') is confirmed to exist at observer.com. Direct fetch was blocked but search results confirm the article and Marcus's consistent 2025 messaging on this topic - he repeatedly stated that current AI models can be jailbroken into providing instructions for biological weapons (e.g., his red-team test where Claude 4 Opus produced 15 pages of sarin gas instructions). Vote 'for' on 'Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs' aligns with Marcus's strong AI safety advocacy. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
