Disputed CDT’s own AI Policy Tracker lists the July 30, 2024 press release at the cited CDT URL and credits it to Kevin Bankston. Reliable secondary coverage reproduces the statement with additional opening words (“CDT appreciates that the NTIA correctly concluded that ...”) and attributes it to Bankston, CDT’s Senior Advisor on AI Governance. So the submitted text is a truncated fragment without [...] and is not correctly attributed to “Center for Democracy & Technology” as the speaker.

AI Verified Verified via web search. Quote is from CDT's 2024 press release 'CDT Applauds NTIA Report Recommending Against New Limits on AI Openness' (the URL provided). Direct fetch returned 403 but search confirmed the wording: CDT 'appreciated that the NTIA concluded that there is not yet enough evidence of novel risks from open foundation models to warrant new restrictions on their distribution.' Vote 'against' on 'Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs' aligns with CDT's clear pro-openness position emphasizing benefits to transparency, security, innovation, and marginalized communities. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
