Verified. The quote ("The investment in making AIs more capable and smarter is roughly in a ratio of a thousand to one compared to the investment in research in safety.") is confirmed verbatim from Yoshua Bengio (Turing Award winner) at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, per the exact digit.in source_url. WebFetch returned HTTP 403, but web search confirmed the verbatim quote and attribution. Author attribution correct. Year 2026 current. Vote alignment: both "for" votes align — Bengio decries the ~1000:1 imbalance favoring capability over safety investment, which directly supports "Mandate big AI companies spend 30% of compute on AI safety" and "Governments should fund open-source AI safety tools and red-teaming infrastructure as public goods." Quote is relevant to both statements (both address increasing AI safety investment).
