Comment by Satya Nadella
Microsoft CEO
I'm much more focused on the benefits to all of us. I am haunted by the fact that the industrial revolution didn't touch the parts of the world where I grew up until much later. So I am looking for the thing that may be even bigger than the industrial revolution, and really doing what the industrial revolution did for the West, for everyone in the world. So I'm not at all worried about AGI showing up, or showing up fast. Great, right? That means 8 billion people have abundance. That's a fantastic world to live in. [...] I would say we should speed up the work that needs to be done to create these alignments. [...] To align an AI model with the world, you have to align it in the world and not in some simulation.AI Verified source (Jun 13, 2023)

The quote directly links AGI’s arrival to widespread abundance: the author says they are "not at all worried about AGI showing up" because "That means 8 billion people have abundance." This clearly supports the full statement that AGI will create abundance.

The quote clearly implies support for building AGI: the author says they are "not at all worried about AGI showing up, or showing up fast" and calls a world with AGI-driven abundance "fantastic," while urging faster alignment work rather than slowing AGI development.

The WIRED article dated June 13, 2023 is an interview with Satya Nadella, and it contains the quoted passages verbatim: the first segment begins “I'm much more focused on the benefits to all of us...” and ends “That's a fantastic world to live in,” while a later Nadella answer includes “I would say we should speed up the work...” and “To align an AI model with the world, you have to align it in the world and not in some simulation.” The [...] omissions skip intervening interview text, but the wording is faithful and correctly attributed to Nadella in the cited source.

Disputed
Disputed. The source URL and the original WIRED interview from June 13, 2023 do support the first paragraph and also separately support Nadella’s line about speeding up alignment work. But the second paragraph in your block is not verbatim as written: the original includes extra words ("instead of just saying stop") and two intervening sentences before "To align an AI model with the world..." So this is a stitched composite of real Nadella remarks, not an exact verbatim quote block.

Quote confirmed via web search of the BusinessToday article and other secondary sources. Satya Nadella did say "I am haunted by the fact that the industrial revolution didn't touch the parts of the world where I grew up..." and expressed enthusiasm about AGI: "I'm not at all worried about AGI showing up, or showing up fast. Great, right? That means 8 billion people have abundance." Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the page exists and the quote is confirmed by multiple search snippets. Author attribution (Microsoft CEO) is correct. The "for" vote on "Build artificial general intelligence" aligns with the quote's enthusiastic support for AGI's arrival. Considered updating to 2025 statements but those are more about measurement (10% economic growth as AGI benchmark) than support/opposition; this 2023 quote remains the cleanest "for" position.
