News and analysis with a global perspective.
True, open-source models can be abused. But such thinking puts too much weight on the dangers of open-source AI and too little on the benefits.

AI Unverifiable
Cannot verify the exact quote wording. Livemint blocks WebFetch ('Claude Code is unable to fetch from www.livemint.com'). Confirmed via independent sources that The Economist published an article titled 'Why open-source AI models are good for the world' (LinkedIn post by The Economist with that exact title from late 2024), republished on Livemint in January 2025 (URL ID 11736226935984 corresponds to that date). The article's argument matches the quote tone, and the 'against' vote on 'Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI' is correctly aligned. However, I could not positively verify the exact direct-quote text via search, and the primary source is blocked.
