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

Disputed CBS's May 28, 2023 transcript identifies the speaker as Brad Smith, and it contains both exact sentences, but in different places: the "law and regulation" sentence appears earlier in the AI discussion, while "So I do think we need to lean in to protecting children" appears much later in a separate answer about kids and AI. Because the stored text stitches separate parts of the transcript into one quote, it is not a single verbatim passage from the source, even though the author, date, and URL match the CBS transcript.

Disputed The CBS transcript for the May 28, 2023 "Face the Nation" interview does attribute both remarks to Brad Smith, and the first sentence matches exactly. But the second line is not fully verbatim as presented: the transcript has "So I do think ..." before "we need to lean in to protecting children," so the excerpt is slightly altered even though it comes from the cited source.

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 · 22d ago
