AI Verified Verified. The Süddeutsche Zeitung article at the provided source, published on 20 November 2016, directly attributes to Chris Boos the German original: “Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen ist ein Weg, den notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel vom Erhalt zum Neubau so zu gestalten, dass er sozialverträglich wird.” ([sueddeutsche.de](https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/sz-wirtschaftsgipfel-siemens-chef-plaediert-fuer-ein-grundeinkommen-1.3257958)) The supplied English is a faithful translation (“Erhalt” = preservation, “Neubau” = new construction, “sozialverträglich” = socially compatible), so the quote is authentic, correctly attributed, and the 2016 date matches the source.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Chris Boos (founder of arago) at the Süddeutsche Zeitung Wirtschaftsgipfel 2016 in Berlin, on an AI panel. Web search confirms the German original: "Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen ist ein Weg, den notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel vom Erhalt zum Neubau so zu gestalten, dass er sozialverträglich wird" — which matches the English translation in the quote. Source URL (sueddeutsche.de) is inaccessible to AI (403), but content is confirmed via secondary sources. Both Kaeser (quote 2714) and Boos spoke at the same SZ Wirtschaftsgipfel event, explaining the shared source URL. Vote "for" on "Implement a universal basic income" correctly aligns with the supportive stance. Year 2016 is older than desired but no replacement found. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 3mo ago
