Comment by Dario Amodei

If AI creates huge total wealth, a lot of that will, by default, go to the AI companies and less to ordinary people, [...] So, you know, it’s definitely not in my economic interest to say that, but I think this is something we should consider and I think it shouldn’t be a partisan thing.

AI Verified CNN’s May 29, 2025 article includes these exact two quoted sentences attributed to Dario Amodei; the stored `[...]` only omits CNN’s intervening attribution (`he said`). CNN’s transcript of the segment also preserves the same statement in slightly fuller spoken form. The author, date (2025-05-29), and supplied non-AMP CNN URL are consistent with the article.

Disputed Not strictly verbatim. The CNN article corresponding to the provided May 29, 2025 source attributes the statement to Dario Amodei and contains the same passage, but it says "this is something we should consider," not "this [a tax on AI companies] is something we should consider." CNN’s transcript of the follow-up segment likewise attributes the remark to Amodei and uses "this is something we should consider." So the quote is correctly attributed, but the submitted version is altered by the bracketed insertion.
