Verification History

AI Verified Verified: the U.S. Chamber page published January 14, 2020 contains both quoted clauses in the same statement, and the omitted middle text is faithfully bridged by the ellipsis. The page is signed by Tim Day (Senior Vice President, C_TEC), so attributing this excerpt to Tim Day is supported by the source.

AI Verified Verified. The uschamber.com source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote reflects the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's documented position, articulated by Tim Day (SVP, Center for Technology, Entrepreneurship & Competitiveness / C_TEC). The Chamber's stated position is that a moratorium/ban on facial recognition "would be premature" (matching the first fragment) and it advocates for responsible, risk-based use rather than blanket prohibitions, consistent with the second fragment about advocating internationally for responsible use that protects human rights. The source URL corresponds to the Chamber's letter for the House Oversight hearing "Facial Recognition Technology (Part III): Ensuring Commercial Transparency & Accuracy" (January 2020), matching year 2020. The Chamber/Tim Day oppose bans and moratoriums, so the "against" vote on statement #412 ("Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance") correctly aligns. Author attribution correct; source is on the official uschamber.com domain. No corrections needed. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 9d ago
