Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. The exact quote appears in Stanford CRFM's paper "On the Societal Impact of Open Foundation Models" (2024). Search results confirm the wording: "...these studies, on their own, are insufficient evidence to demonstrate increased marginal societal risk from open foundation models." The "abstain" vote on "Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI" is appropriate: the paper deliberately takes a neutral epistemic stance, arguing that current evidence is insufficient to characterize the marginal risk of open foundation models — neither affirming nor denying that open is more dangerous. CRFM URL returned 403; verification relies on multiple corroborating search snippets and the arXiv copy of the paper. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 2d ago
