We know for a fact that open-source software platforms are both more powerful and more secure than the closed-source versions.

Quote authenticity verification history

AI Verified The quote is authentic as stated: the cited Business Today article (updated October 25, 2024) contains that exact sentence in quotation marks and attributes it to Yann LeCun during his Delhi remarks at Nasscom AI Confluence. A separate Hindustan Times report from the same event corroborates that LeCun was making pro-open-source remarks there, supporting the attribution.

AI Verified Verified via web search. Business Today article (Oct 25, 2024) "Open source will win: Meta's Yann LeCun takes aim at competitors' closed AI models" quotes LeCun verbatim: "We know for a fact that open-source software platforms are both more powerful and more secure than the closed-source versions." This is consistent with LeCun's well-documented public position (Twitter/X, Time interviews, LinkedIn posts). Vote "against" aligns with the statement "Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI" — LeCun argues open-source is safer, not more dangerous.
