AI Verified Verified: the SCMP article published on March 21, 2025 attributes this exact wording to Pascale Fung: “we need open source – especially for different kinds of national security and similar applications … [as] they are inspectable”. ([scmp.com](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3303206/open-source-ai-models-may-be-safer-military-use-experts-say)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Verified Verified via web search (SCMP URL returns 403 to WebFetch). The same SCMP article 'Open-source AI models may be safer for military use, experts say' (March 21, 2025) quotes Pascale Fung, chair professor at HKUST's Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, with the exact quoted text. Author attribution and year 2025 are correct. Vote 'against' on 'Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI' is correctly aligned: Fung argues open source is preferable for security applications because models are inspectable. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
