## Quote — verbatim

> That's why one of the reasons I was at the Hill fighting to keep AI open source — because when AI is open source, we can at least point out that this was used against a victim, and we can easily trace it back. If it's closed, we don't know what exactly is going to happen.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

After warning that AI-scale surveillance makes "show me the man, I'll show you the crime" a thousand times easier. (Transcript reads "keep open AI open source"; context indicates AI generally.)
