Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Dame Wendy Hall (computer scientist at University of Southampton) made this exact statement to The Guardian in the January 2024 article about Mark Zuckerberg's AGI plans. She also compared open-sourcing Llama 2 to "giving people a template to build a nuclear bomb". The "for" vote on "Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI" is consistent with her view that open-sourcing powerful AI is dangerous.
