The future of AI and the fate of humanity must not be decided behind closed doors in Silicon Valley by billionaires seeking to maximize their power and profit. It must be decided by workers, parents, teachers, artists, scientists, communities and the American people.AI Verified source (Jun 18, 2026)

The quote clearly supports broad public decision-making about AI rather than leaving key AI decisions to Silicon Valley insiders alone. Although it does not use the term "value alignment," it plainly implies support for public deliberation over fundamental AI directions and values.

The quote strongly implies support: it says AI’s future “must not be decided behind closed doors in Silicon Valley” by powerful insiders and instead “must be decided by workers, parents, teachers, artists, scientists, communities and the American people.” That is broad public deliberation rather than developers alone, though the quote speaks about AI governance broadly rather than using the term “value alignment.”
