Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly supports the full idea: it says powerful-model AI companies should follow safety requirements, specifically including testing prior to release and publication of evaluation results. That implies support for requiring frontier labs to publish safety evaluations before deployment. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago
