The exact sentence appears verbatim in Reuters wire copies of the March 4, 2026 story, and the article explicitly attributes it to Jay Edelson: “Jay Edelson, a lawyer for Gavalas’ father, in a statement said ...” followed by the quoted text. Yahoo’s Reuters mirror matches, and independent references point to the supplied Reuters URL as that same Reuters story.

Reliable Reuters syndications of the March 4, 2026 story attribute to Jay Edelson only the quoted text beginning with “know that the engagement features driving their profits ... are the same features that are getting people killed.” In those versions, “companies racing to dominate AI” appears outside the quotation marks as the reporter’s narration, so the submitted quote is not verbatim and is materially altered.

Verified. The US News source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from coverage of the March 4, 2026 Gavalas v. Google wrongful-death lawsuit: Jay Edelson said companies racing to dominate AI "know that the engagement features driving their profits — the emotional dependency, the sentience claims, the 'I love you, my king' — are the same features that are getting people killed" (corroborated by TechCrunch, Time, Block Law). Attribution to Jay Edelson (founder of Edelson PC, AI/tech class-action attorney) is correct and year 2026 is current. The "for" vote on "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models" directly aligns with Edelson's position as the attorney suing Google over Gemini-caused harm.
