It will require, I think, a level of law and regulation as well. [...] We need to lean in to protecting children.

[🇪🇸 Congreso, Jun 2024] Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups

Verification History

AI Verified The source_url (cbsnews.com Face the Nation transcript, May 28, 2023) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the quote was independently confirmed via web search of the same CBS transcript and corroborating coverage (CNN). Brad Smith (Microsoft vice chair and president) called for AI to require "a level of law and regulation" and said "we need to lean in to protecting children," framing it as a lesson from the social-media experience. The [...] omission is faithful. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "[ES Congreso, Jun 2024] Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups," and Smith supports AI regulation/law to protect children (a vulnerable group), so a "for" vote is appropriate. Note: this is a 2023 quote but remains relevant, so it is kept; I am searching for a 2026+ companion quote to add alongside. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 2d ago
