At the Clinton Global Initiative, Hillary Clinton said open-source AI models are not an "unadulterated good" and pose additional dangers, with Reid Hoffman warning that "one-to-three people in their garage" could find novel attack vectors. Hugging Face co-founder Clem Delangue countered that the real risk comes from secret frontier labs with massive compute, while open models let smaller organizations defend themselves.
