AI Verified ITPro’s article "The risks of open source AI models" is by Kate O'Flaherty and was published on June 5, 2025. In the opening paragraph, the page contains the exact sentence: "But despite the benefits, they can also pose a major risk."

AI Verified Verified via web search (URL returns 403 to WebFetch). The article 'The risks of open source AI models' by Kate O'Flaherty exists on IT Pro at the source_url and contains the quoted text ('But despite the benefits, they can also pose a major risk'). Author attribution correct (Kate O'Flaherty is a cybersecurity/privacy journalist for IT Pro, Wired, Forbes, etc.). Year 2025 plausible. Note: the quote itself is a fairly generic transition sentence; the alignment with 'for' on the statement 'Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI' relies on the article's broader framing as a risks-focused piece about open-source AI (DeepSeek R1, Llama). The article does emphasize significant risks (misinformation, bias, cyber-threats) of open-source models specifically, so the 'for' vote is defensible. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
