AI Verified Verified. Bloomberg’s article "Anthropic CEO Says Mandatory Safety Tests Needed for AI Models" shows the quote verbatim — "I think we absolutely have to make the testing mandatory, but we also need to be really careful about how we do it," — and immediately attributes it to Dario Amodei ("Amodei said"). The opened page also shows the same Bloomberg URL and a publication date of November 20, 2024, so the stored author, content, date, and source URL are consistent.

Disputed Disputed. The Nov. 20, 2024 Bloomberg/Bloomberg Law article does contain this exact sentence, but it is written as reporter narration (“Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei said …”), not as Amodei’s verbatim words. The article’s direct quote from Amodei is: “I think we absolutely have to make the testing mandatory, but we also need to be really careful about how we do it.” So the submitted text is a paraphrase attributed to him, not a verbatim quote.
