AI policy researcher; founder of AVERI (AI Verification Initiative); former OpenAI Head of Policy Research
Outsiders lack reliable ways to judge whether leading developers' safety and security claims are accurate. [...] Broad, sustainable adoption of AI over time requires a solid foundation of trust built on credible scrutiny by independent experts. [...] Even the best current third-party AI assessments lack key features that are standard in more established industries.

Disputed Disputed: the cited arXiv source is a 48-author paper (Miles Brundage plus 47 others), so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Miles Brundage quote. The supplied wording is also not verbatim from that URL: the abstract page shows different abstract text; in the PDF, the middle sentence matches, the first fragment appears only as part of a longer sentence, and the closest wording to the last fragment is "Current third-party AI assessment efforts provide a valuable starting point ... Yet significant gaps remain ..." arXiv lists v1 on 2026-01-16 and v4 on 2026-02-07. ([arxiv.org](https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.11699)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago
Disputed Disputed: the arXiv paper exists and is a multi-author paper led by Miles Brundage; it contains the exact sentence about “broad, sustainable adoption of AI over time” on p. 2, and its abstract contains “Frontier AI is becoming critical societal infrastructure, but outsiders lack reliable ways to judge ...” rather than the quoted standalone opening. ([arxiv.org](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.11699)) I could not find the exact third sentence in the paper; instead, the paper says “Current third-party AI assessment efforts provide a valuable starting point ... Yet significant gaps remain ...” and a direct search for “lack key features” returns no match. So the submitted text is a composite with at least one materially altered/paraphrased segment, not a fully verbatim quote from the cited source.

AI Verified Verified. The arXiv source URL (2601.11699) returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search confirmed the quote's content from the paper "Frontier AI Auditing: Toward Rigorous Third-Party Assessment of Safety and Security Practices at Leading AI Companies" by Miles Brundage et al. (January 16, 2026). The paper states that outsiders lack reliable ways to judge whether leading developers' safety and security claims are accurate, that broad sustainable AI adoption requires trust built on credible scrutiny by independent experts, and that AI is subject to less rigorous third-party scrutiny than established industries (consumer products, financial statements, food supply chains) — matching the quoted text. Author attribution is correct (Brundage, former OpenAI Head of Policy Research, founder of AVERI). Year 2026 is current. Regarding votes: the recent_unverified response showed vote: null, but the author already has a recorded vote on statement 74 ("Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems"); a "for" stance is unambiguously consistent with Brundage's paper and his founding of AVERI to push for independent/external AI audits. Source URL is the appropriate primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 1mo ago
