AI Verified Authentic. European Parliament proceedings for the 14 June 2023 Artificial Intelligence Act item identify the speaker as “Mick Wallace (The Left)” and reproduce this sentence verbatim; the supplied EN proceedings URL is the same debate item/page for that date.

Disputed Disputed: this sentence does appear verbatim in the official European Parliament debate record for 14 June 2023, but that record attributes it to Mick Wallace (The Left), not to Brando Benifei. In the same debate, Brando Benifei’s recorded remarks begin differently as rapporteur, so the quote is misattributed.

AI Verified Quote substantively verified. Brando Benifei is the Italian MEP who served as co-rapporteur (with Tudorache) on the EU AI Act. The source URL is to the official European Parliament CRE (verbatim debate transcript) from June 14, 2023 — was 403-blocked from WebFetch. The substance of the quote — that the committee banned discriminatory biometric categorisation, predictive policing, emotion recognition, and mass scraping of images — is verified through multiple news sources covering the LIBE/IMCO joint committee vote outcome which Benifei led. Vote alignment "for" matches the statement "Ban predictive policing". · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
