AI Expert and Professor
This committee has discussed ideas such as third-party testing, a new national agency, and an international coordinating body, all of which I support. Here are some more ways to “move fast and fix things”: Eventually, we will develop forms of AI that are provably safe and beneficial, which can then be mandated. Until then, we need real regulation and a pervasive culture of safety.AI Verified source (2023)

The quote clearly implies the author believes AI can eventually be made "provably safe and beneficial," which is effectively a claim that alignment is solvable. This establishes support for the complete statement.

The quote says, "Eventually, we will develop forms of AI that are provably safe and beneficial," which clearly implies the author believes safe/aligned AI can be achieved.

Verified: the provided Human-Compatible AI page, dated September 11, 2023, labels the text as the transcript of Stuart Russell’s opening statement and includes the quoted passage verbatim, beginning "This committee has discussed..." and ending "Until then, we need real regulation and a pervasive culture of safety." A Senate Judiciary hearing page for the July 25, 2023 hearing also lists Stuart Russell as a witness, supporting attribution.

CHAI URL is blocked from WebFetch, but search results directly confirmed Stuart Russell's exact statement at the U.S. Senate hearing "Oversight of A.I.: Principles for Regulation" on July 25, 2023: "the committee has discussed ideas such as third-party testing, a new national agency, and an international coordinating body, all of which I support" along with "move fast and fix things." Vote alignment ("for" the statement "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems") is correct - Russell explicitly supported third-party testing.
