Anthropic’s international chief says open models carry more risk by definition

Anthropic’s head of international told Bloomberg TV in Dublin that open alternatives to its models carry more risk by definition. That is a broader claim than the one Dario Amodei set out in July, when he wrote that open-weight models without dangerous capabilities are a public good. Anthropic’s top sales executive outside the US says the open models competing with its own carry more risk. He said it in Dublin, at an Irish government summit. “ We need to be really careful with open-source on safety, ” Guillaume Princen, Anthropic’s head of international, told Bloomberg TV on Wednesday.
