We have found vulnerabilities in every single system we have tested. Unverified source (2026)

There are some digital products (say CSAM and AI letting terrorists make bioweapons) that I oppose regardless of whether they are open-source or not, but I'm overall supportive of open source, and you can easily verify that my MIT research group defa... more Unverified source (2026)

In a time dominated by open-weight biological AI models developed across the globe, limiting access to sensitive pathogen data to legitimate researchers might be one of the most promising avenues for risk reduction. Unverified source (2026)

Since computational infrastructure is largely open-access, decentralized, and global, regulatory chokepoints are limited. Export controls may delay access to high-performance computing, but they are unlikely to prevent the use of open-source models f... more Verified source (2025)

The thought of open source AGI being released before we have worked out how to regulate these very powerful AI systems is really very scary, Unverified source (2024)

These studies, on their own, are insufficient evidence to demonstrate increased marginal societal risk from open foundation models. Unverified source (2024)

Open source does not eliminate risk. It changes how risk is managed. It allows more researchers, developers, and defenders to examine systems, test assumptions, surface weaknesses, and harden code under real-world conditions. [...] If frontier models... more Unverified source (2026)

Policy and safeguards must evolve just as swiftly [...] requiring safety assurances for powerful open releases before the window for meaningful intervention closes. Unverified source

I do not believe this is the best approach to protecting the public from real threats posed by the technology. Unverified source (2024)

Open source models are technically exempt [...] based on the assumption that the system is sufficiently well documented to convey its potential risks. Unverified source (2024)
