Verification History

AI Verified Checked author attribution, year, vote alignment, source, and relevance. The original source_url was a Guardian article about Emmanuel Macron (theguardian.com/.../emmanuel-macron-eu-ai-rules...), which is the WRONG source and does not contain this quote. Multiple independent web searches confirmed all three phrases ("no child should be a test subject for unregulated AI", "the future of AI cannot be decided by a few [handful of countries]", and "AI must belong to everyone") were spoken by UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the India AI Impact Summit opening ceremony in New Delhi on 19 February 2026 — corroborated by UN News, press.un.org (SG/SM/23022), india.un.org, a UN-attributed YouTube clip titled with the exact "No child should be a test subject for unregulated AI" line, and the 5Rights Foundation. I therefore updated source_url to the official UN transcript of his remarks (india.un.org/en/310315-...opening-ceremony). The UN pages return HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but the content is strongly corroborated. Year 2026 is correct and recent. The vote (vote_id 11638) is "for," correctly aligning with Guterres's call to regulate AI to protect children/vulnerable groups, matching the statement "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups." Quote is accurate and properly attributed. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 15h ago
