Right now consumers, businesses, and governments simply have to trust what the AI labs say about these tests. No one is forcing them to conduct these evaluations or report them according to any particular set of standards. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. Quote attributed to Miles Brundage (AI policy researcher, founder of AVERI, former OpenAI Head of Policy Research), year 2026. WebFetch of the Fortune source_url returned HTTP 403, but a web search confirmed the substance from the same Fortune exclusive (also on Yahoo Tech, AOL, The Decoder, dated 2026-01-15): Brundage's point that consumers, businesses, and governments currently have to simply trust what the AI labs say about their safety tests, with no one forcing them to conduct evaluations or report them to any particular standard — which is exactly why he launched AVERI to push for independent audits and AI auditing standards. Vote alignment is correct: statement 386 ("Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models") with a "for" vote matches Brundage's advocacy for mandatory, standardized evaluation and reporting. Author attribution and the Fortune primary source are correct. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 9d ago
