There’s no one forcing them to work with third-party experts [...] They kind of write their own rules.

AI Verified The Fortune article at the provided URL, published on January 15, 2026, explicitly says Brundage told Fortune and includes the same two-sentence passage; the submitted text is a faithful excerpt using [...] for omitted words, and the stored author, date, and source URL match.

Disputed The January 15, 2026 Fortune article does contain a very close passage, but I could not confirm the supplied text as an exact, directly attributed quote from Miles Brundage. In the source, the key sentence uses singular “business” rather than “businesses,” and the passage appears in the reporter’s narrative immediately after a different direct Brundage quote, not as a clearly marked verbatim quotation from him. Yahoo’s syndicated reprint preserves the same wording and structure. That makes the submitted version a near-match/paraphrase rather than a verified exact quote.

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 · 1mo ago
