Bloomberg Law’s April 3, 2023 article "By Pausing AI, We’d Only Be Hurting Ourselves: Tyler Cowen," credited to Tyler Cowen, contains the exact wording "I disagree. A slowdown would politicize AI development" and later "The risk is that the delay could be extended indefinitely." The omitted portions indicated by [...] are faithful omissions from the same passage, so the quote is real, verbatim as excerpted, and correctly attributed.

Source URL (news.bloomberglaw.com syndication of Tyler Cowen Bloomberg Opinion column 'Should We Pause AI? We'd Only Be Hurting Ourselves', April 3, 2023) returns 403 to WebFetch but Google search returns verbatim phrases from the column: 'a slowdown would politicize AI development', 'could induce a talent drain', and 'the risk is that the delay could be extended indefinitely, especially once politicians jump in and polarize the issue.' Author attribution to Tyler Cowen (George Mason economist, Bloomberg Opinion columnist) is correct. Year 2023 matches the column's publication. Vote 'against' on statement #379 ('Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached') correctly aligns with Cowen's clear opposition to an AI pause. Verified.
