Quote authorship and content verified via web search. Stella Biderman (Executive Director of EleutherAI) is quoted in the same IEEE Spectrum article 'Protesters Decry Meta's Irreversible Proliferation of AI' (Oct 6, 2023), arguing that secrecy would have 'serious downstream consequences for transparency, public awareness, and science'. She is a prominent defender of open-source AI and EleutherAI's mission. Spectrum URL returns 403 to WebFetch but content is confirmed by her own publications, Senate testimony to Schumer, and multiple secondary sources. 'Against' vote on 'Ban open source AI models capable of creating WMDs' aligns with her well-documented opposition to restricting open-source model releases. Year corrected from 2024 to 2023 to match the article's publication date.
