AI Verified The AFL-CIO page at the provided URL, dated September 11, 2024, contains this sentence verbatim in the letter body, and the letter is signed “Jody Calemine, Director, Government Affairs,” which supports attribution to him. The stored author, date, source URL, and quote text match the source.

Disputed The AFL-CIO source dated September 11, 2024 and signed by Jody Calemine contains a similar sentence, but not the quote verbatim: it inserts a clause naming Senators Coons, Blackburn, Klobuchar, and Tillis after “The NO FAKES Act,” and it ends with “AI and other technologies,” not just “AI.” So the attribution appears correct, but the supplied wording is not an exact quote as written.
