AI Verified Verified. In the official EUR-Lex text of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 5(1)(b) states that an AI system may exploit vulnerabilities of "a natural person or a specific group of persons due to their age, disability or a specific social or economic situation ...". Your quote is a verbatim excerpt with ellipses omitting text, and the act is officially attributed to the European Parliament and the Council (13 June 2024).

AI Verified Quote: "an AI system that exploits any of the vulnerabilities of a natural person [...] due to their age, disability or a specific social or economic situation" — attributed to European Parliament and Council of the EU. Statement #409 (regulating AI to protect vulnerable groups), vote=for. This is VERBATIM text from Article 5(1)(b) of EU Regulation 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act), which prohibits placing on the market/use of "an AI system that exploits any of the vulnerabilities of a natural person or a specific group of persons due to their age, disability or a specific social or economic situation" (the [...] replaces "or a specific group of persons"). The source_url is the official eur-lex CELEX:32024R1689 — i.e., the regulation itself — so the source definitively contains the quote. The eur-lex page returned HTTP 403 on direct WebFetch (anti-bot), and the artificialintelligenceact.eu mirror also 403'd, but a web search returned the exact verbatim sentence confirmed across multiple authoritative legal sources (EU AI Act Service Desk, WilmerHale, FPF, etc.). Author attribution is correct (EU co-legislators enacted the AI Act). Vote=for is CORRECT — this prohibition exists precisely to protect vulnerable groups, matching the statement. Year 2024 (regulation adopted 2024; prohibitions in force since 2 Feb 2025). Verified on the basis of definitive verbatim confirmation that the source regulation contains the quote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 3d ago
