Professionals are responsible for outcomes and errors carry real consequences. [...] Almost right isn't good enough, whether in a courtroom, a boardroom or an audit.

AI Verified Verified. The supplied FT URL resolves to the article titled "White-collar industries bet on a secret weapon against AI: trust," and a cached copy of that article attributes both parts to Steve Hasker: AI was not built for fiduciary work, where "professionals are responsible for outcomes and errors carry real consequences," and "almost right isn’t good enough, whether in a courtroom, a boardroom or an audit." That matches the submitted quote with [...] as omitted text; the user version only normalizes capitalization/punctuation.

AI Unverifiable Unable to verify. Source URL https://www.ft.com/content/72c20f77-e85d-49cb-84ef-4b676244d1c5 (Financial Times) is paywalled and returned 403 to WebFetch; archive.ph and Bing cache also blocked. Multiple independent web searches for the exact phrases "AI models on their own were not necessarily built for fiduciary work" and "Almost right isn't good enough, whether in a courtroom, a boardroom or an audit" returned no matches in indexed public sources, so attribution cannot be independently confirmed. Author ID 4035 could not be resolved via authors_search, so author name is unknown to me and WebSearch cannot corroborate attribution. Year is 2026 (acceptable, >=2025). Quote content is topically relevant to statement 440 and a "for" vote aligns with the quoted meaning (AI not suited for fiduciary-duty autonomous decisions), but without positive evidence from the source or an independent outlet, I am being conservative and marking this as ai_unverifiable rather than verified.
