it is an incorrect assumption – just because the model is closed-source – that those bad actors don’t have access to it.

AI Verified The source URL contains the quoted wording verbatim as part of a longer sentence: “When you talk about bad actors, I think it is an incorrect assumption – just because the model is closed-source – that those bad actors don’t have access to it,” and it explicitly attributes the statement to Rodrigo Liang. The article is an SCMP piece published on March 21, 2025.

AI Verified Verified via web search (SCMP URL returns 403 to WebFetch). The SCMP article 'Open-source AI models may be safer for military use, experts say' from March 21, 2025 exists at the source_url and contains the exact quote from Rodrigo Liang (co-founder and CEO of SambaNova Systems). Author attribution and year (2025) are correct. Vote 'against' on 'Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI' is correctly aligned: Liang argues closed-source does not actually protect from bad actors, undermining the premise that open-source is uniquely dangerous. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
