AI Verified Verified. The exact sentence appears in the cited Cyprus Mail article published on April 6, 2026, and in the Reuters/MarketScreener version published on March 24, 2026; both explicitly attribute it to Stian Kirkeberg with 'Kirkeberg said.' Note that Kirkeberg is the speaker of the quote, while the article itself is by Reuters/Gwladys Fouche.

AI Verified Verified. Quote "At some stage, we're going to trust that the agent can make some of the decisions and we just monitor what it does" is attributed to Stian Kirkeberg, Head of Machine Learning and AI at Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), Norway's sovereign wealth fund. Author (id 4005) matches. Source URL cyprus-mail.com article (2026-04-06) returned 403 on direct WebFetch, but the quote and attribution were independently confirmed via WebSearch results citing the same Reuters-syndicated story across multiple outlets (Global Banking & Finance, WHTC, Yahoo Finance, The Star, Geo.tv, Cyprus Mail, Communications Today). Year 2026 is valid. Vote "against" aligns with quote meaning: NBIM manages fiduciary assets and Kirkeberg envisions trusting AI agents to make autonomous decisions under monitoring, which opposes a prohibition on AI autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies. Relevancy to statement 440 is strong. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 2mo ago
