This is a formula for outright stagnation. [...] But rather than trying to anticipate every risk, regulators should let entrepreneurship flourish while efforts to monitor and improve AI safety proceed in parallel.AI Verified source (Apr 5, 2023)

The quote clearly implies opposition to the statement: it condemns a precautionary halt as "outright stagnation" and says regulators should allow AI development to continue while safety work proceeds "in parallel," which conflicts with banning superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached.

The quote calls that approach "a formula for outright stagnation" and says regulators should "let entrepreneurship flourish" while AI safety work proceeds "in parallel," which clearly opposes a ban-until-safety condition.

Bloomberg’s indexed page for this exact URL shows the title, date (2023-04-05), and byline “By The Editorial Board.” A syndicated Bloomberg Opinion reprint reproduces both quoted sentences verbatim, with omitted text validly between them, so the stored author, date, URL, and content match.

Disputed
The quote text is real: the ITPro Today mirror contains both sentences verbatim, with the omission between them supportable by intervening text. ([itprotoday.com](https://www.itprotoday.com/ai-machine-learning/an-ai-pause-would-be-a-disaster-for-innovation)) But the original Bloomberg article dated April 5, 2023 is by “The Editorial Board,” and Bloomberg’s author page identifies that entity as the “Bloomberg Opinion Editorial Board,” not the exact author name “Bloomberg Opinion Editors.” ([bloomberg.com](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-04-05/an-ai-pause-would-be-a-disaster-for-innovation?utm_source=openai)) So the quotation is authentic, but the attribution as given is not exact.

Source URL (itprotoday.com syndication of Bloomberg Opinion 'An AI Pause Would Be a Disaster for Innovation', April 5, 2023) returns 403 to WebFetch but Google search confirms the key phrase 'formula for outright stagnation' is from this exact Bloomberg Opinion editorial — the article argues that requiring AI to be developed only when fully confident of positive effects is a formula for outright stagnation, and advocates allowing entrepreneurship to flourish while AI safety efforts proceed in parallel. Author attribution to Bloomberg Opinion Editorial Board is correct. Year 2023 matches. Vote 'against' on statement #379 ('Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached') is correctly aligned with the editorial's clear opposition to a moratorium. Verified.
