AI Verified The quote is authentic. The provided WUSF article attributes the sentence beginning “We support innovation...” to James Uthmeier at line 367 of its April 9, 2026 report, and WFSU and TechCrunch independently reproduce the same wording from his announcement video. The prompt text matches the wording aside from normal apostrophe/quotation-mark styling.

AI Verified Year: 2026 (announcement of probe into OpenAI, April 9, 2026) — current/relevant. Author attribution: James Uthmeier (39th Attorney General of Florida) — correct; web search confirms the quote is attributed to him. Source verification: WebFetch of the wusf.org URL returned HTTP 403, but web search returned the verbatim quote from his announcement, reported across multiple outlets ("We support innovation, but that doesn't give any company the right to endanger our children, facilitate criminal activity, empower America's enemies or threaten our national security"). Vote alignment: vote is "for" the statement "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models" — aligns, as Uthmeier is launching an investigation to hold OpenAI accountable for harms allegedly caused/facilitated by its deployed model (ChatGPT). Positive evidence the source contains the quote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
