We talk about the IAEA as a model where the world has said 'OK, very dangerous technology, let's all put some guard rails.'

AI Verified Verified. The provided Economic Times URL contains the exact sentence and attributes it to Sam Altman in an AP report dated June 7, 2023; a syndicated Associated Press version published June 6, 2023 also contains the same wording and attribution to Altman speaking in Abu Dhabi. The quote in your prompt is an exact verbatim excerpt of a longer Altman remark.

AI Verified Verified via web search. The quote "We talk about the IAEA as a model where the world has said 'OK, very dangerous technology, let's all put some guard rails.'" is confirmed in multiple sources (Euronews, Times of Israel, Wikiquote, June 2023) attributed to Sam Altman during his trip to the UAE. The "for" vote on "Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN" is broadly consistent — Altman publicly supports creating a global multilateral AI governance body. Caveat: he explicitly proposes an IAEA model (regulatory/watchdog) rather than a CERN model (research collaboration). The two represent different visions of global AI institutions, but both fall under the umbrella of the statement. Economic Times URL was not directly fetchable; verification relies on corroborating reports. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
