Quote attributed to Yoshua Bengio (AI pioneer, Turing Award winner): "I'm now very confident that it is possible to build AI systems that don't have hidden goals, hidden agendas. [...] A Scientist AI would be trained to give truthful answers based on transparent, probabilistic reasoning." The Fortune source URL (2026-01-15) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed both spliced segments verbatim from that exact Fortune article and corroborating coverage (Benzinga, 80,000 Hours, WEF): Bengio said "Because of the work I've been doing at LawZero... I'm now very confident that it is possible to build AI systems that don't have hidden goals, hidden agendas," and that "A Scientist AI would be trained to give truthful answers based on transparent, probabilistic reasoning." Author attribution correct; source is the primary Fortune article. Year 2026 correct and relevant. Vote alignment: Bengio advocates AI with transparent reasoning and no hidden agendas (interpretable/honest AI), consistent with the "for" vote on "Require AI systems above a capability threshold to be interpretable." Verified.
