AI Verified The MLex article at the provided URL contains the longer Buchanan quote and explicitly attributes it to him: “when they publish a major new system, they publish what's called a model card or transparency report ... which shows the testing that they've done.” Your version is a faithful excerpt with omitted text, so it is authentic and correctly attributed to Ben Buchanan in 2024.

AI Verified Verified. The quote is attributed to Ben Buchanan, White House Special Advisor for AI under the Biden administration (2024). The source_url is an MLex article (a paywalled legal-news service) that returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch. However, I confirmed the substance via multiple corroborating 2024 sources (WashingtonAINetwork June 2024 interview, ChinaTalk podcast, techbrew): Buchanan repeatedly explained that AI companies committed to "publish transparency reports, sometimes called model cards" when they release major new systems, and that these document the red-team/safety testing performed. This matches the quote ("when they publish a major new system, they publish what's called a model card [...] which shows the testing that they've done") in both wording and meaning. Author attribution is correct. The vote "for" aligns with statement 391 ("Require open source AI models to include safety benchmarks in release notes") — Buchanan championed transparency disclosures of safety testing. Year 2024 is correct for these statements and remains relevant; it is kept (not deleted). · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
