Comment by Peter S. Park

Widely releasing the very advanced AI models of the future would be especially problematic, because preventing their misuse would be essentially impossible, [...] enable rogue actors and nation-state adversaries to wage cyberattacks, election meddling, and bioterrorism with unprecedented ease.

AI Verified At the provided IEEE Spectrum URL, the article dated 2023-10-06 contains both quoted clauses in sequence, separated only by “he says, adding that they could,” and explicitly attributes them to Peter S. Park. The stored author, date, source URL, and omitted-text form are consistent with the source. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago
Disputed The IEEE Spectrum article at the supplied URL is by Edd Gent, published October 6, 2023, and it attributes to Peter S. Park two separate quoted fragments within a sentence of reporter narration—not the single continuous quotation given here. Because the submitted text includes the journalist’s wording as if Park said the whole sentence verbatim, it is materially altered and not an exact Peter S. Park quote.

AI Verified Quote authorship and content verified via web search. Peter S. Park (MIT AI Existential Safety Postdoctoral Fellow) is quoted in IEEE Spectrum's article 'Protesters Decry Meta's Irreversible Proliferation of AI' (Oct 6, 2023), with the exact wording 'Widely releasing the very advanced AI models of the future would be especially problematic, because preventing their misuse would be essentially impossible' and the warning about cyberattacks/election meddling/bioterrorism. Spectrum URL returns 403 to WebFetch but the article is confirmed by beSpacific, LessWrong, EA Forum, and the protest organizers' own materials. 'For' vote on 'Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs' aligns precisely with Park's warning about bioterrorism enabled by open-weight advanced AI. Year was 2024; corrected to 2023 to match the article's actual publication date. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
