Comment by António Guterres
UN Secretary-General
Science informs, but humans decide. Our goal is to make human control a technical reality. [...] It requires meaningful human oversight in every high-stakes decision — in justice, healthcare, credit.

Verified. The source URL (press.un.org/en/2026/sgsm23023.doc.htm) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search of the document's indexed content confirmed all three quoted segments verbatim: "Science informs, but humans decide", "make human control a technical reality" (full: "make human control a technical reality, not a slogan"), and "meaningful human oversight in every high-stakes decision — in justice, healthcare, credit." This was from Guterres's remarks at the side event on the Role of Science in International AI Governance at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi (Feb 2026), correctly attributed to the UN Secretary-General. Year 2026 is current. The vote "for" on statement #418 ("Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains") correctly aligns with Guterres's strong endorsement of human oversight in high-stakes decisions.
