AI Verified Verified: the Hudson Institute page at the provided URL is titled “IAEA for AI? That Model Has Already Failed,” dated June 2, 2023, and credits Mike Watson as the author. The body text contains the sentence exactly as given: “If the alarmists are right about the dangers of AI and try to fix it with an IAEA-style solution, then we’re already doomed.” ([hudson.org](https://www.hudson.org/energy/iaea-ai-model-has-already-failed-mike-watson)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Unverifiable Source URL (hudson.org Mike Watson article 'IAEA for AI? That Model Has Already Failed', June 2023) returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the article exists with that title and contains the quoted line about IAEA-style AI governance leading to doom. Vote (Against 'Establish a UN-led body to oversee compute-intensive AI') aligns with Watson's explicit critique of an IAEA-style UN body for AI. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
