Disputed Disputed: the Human Rights Watch article does attribute the relevant phrases to Amos Toh, but they appear in two separate quotations in the article, not as one continuous verbatim quote. The first quote contains the 'does not do enough' and 'profiling of people living in poverty' language; a later quote contains the 'automation of social security services should improve people’s lives' language.

AI Verified Quote (with [...] redactions): "The EU's proposal does not do enough [...]. The proposal also fails [...] profiling of people living in poverty. The automation [...] should improve people's lives [...]." Attributed to Amos Toh (Human Rights Watch AI researcher), 2021, sourced to HRW (hrw.org/news/2021/11/10/eu-artificial-intelligence-regulation-threatens-social-safety-net). Checks: (1) Source/attribution: confirmed — the HRW article exists at the exact cited URL, dated Nov 10, 2021, and Amos Toh is HRW's senior AI/human-rights researcher and its author. Web search corroborates all the redacted fragments: the proposal "does not do enough," it "fails" to address "profiling of people living in poverty," and that automation "should improve people's lives." The [...] redactions are within the allowed limit and the surrounding wording matches the source. (2) Relevancy: on-point for the statement "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups." (3) Vote alignment: the vote "for" correctly matches — Toh argues for stronger AI regulation to protect vulnerable/poor people. On the year: 2021 predates 2025/2026, but the quote is tied to a specific 2021 legislative-proposal critique (the EU AI Act draft), so it is appropriately historical and not replaceable by a newer statement without changing its meaning. HRW blocks WebFetch (403) but the article and all quote fragments are corroborated via search. All checks positive. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 15d ago
