Verification History

AI Verified Verified. accountabletech.org returned 403 to WebFetch but web search results confirm: (1) the statement exists at the stated URL with the exact opening text quoted ("Today, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed... SB 1047... including requiring pre-deployment safety testing and third-party auditing"); (2) attribution to Nicole Gill, Accountable Tech Co-Founder and Executive Director, is confirmed by search results; (3) the veto occurred September 29-30, 2024 (year matches); (4) Accountable Tech actively campaigned for SB 1047. Vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" perfectly aligns with the statement decrying the loss of SB 1047's third-party audit requirement. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 2d ago
