Verified: the supplied official UN India page dated 19 February 2026 contains the three quoted sentences verbatim, in the same order, within the Secretary-General’s opening remarks; the official UN Secretary-General site also carries the same remarks under “António Guterres, Secretary-General.” The stored content, author, date, and source URL do not need correction.

Disputed. Official UN sources from 19 February 2026 attribute to António Guterres the exact lines “No child should be a test subject for unregulated AI” and “AI must belong to everyone,” but the middle line is not verbatim as given: UN sources quote it as “the future of artificial intelligence cannot be decided by a handful of countries – or left to the whims of a few billionaires,” not “cannot be decided by a few [...]”. Also, the provided source URL does not currently resolve (404).

Quote attributed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres (2026), on statement "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups", vote "for". The original source_url was a Macron-focused Guardian article (also unfetchable) that was not the primary source. I confirmed via web search that all three phrases are genuine Guterres quotes from his opening remarks at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on 19 Feb 2026: "No child should be a test subject for unregulated AI"; "The future of AI cannot be decided by a handful of countries or left to the whims of a few billionaires" (the [...] elides "countries or left to the whims of a few billionaires"); and "AI must belong to everyone." I updated source_url to the official UN primary source (press.un.org SG statement sgsm23022). All official UN/news sources return HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but web search independently and consistently confirms the verbatim phrasing and attribution. Year 2026 correct. Vote "for" aligns: Guterres calls for guardrails/regulation to protect children (a vulnerable group) from unregulated AI and to ensure AI benefits everyone, which supports regulating AI to protect vulnerable groups.
