Year: 2025 (remarks at the AICPA Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, Dec 2025) — recent/relevant. Author attribution: George Botic (Acting Chair, PCAOB) — correct; web search confirms the quote is attributed to him. Source verification: WebFetch of the accountingtoday.com URL returned HTTP 403, but a web search returned the verbatim quote from that exact article ("AI has the potential to improve audit quality, but the human element cannot be removed"). Vote alignment: vote is "for" the statement "Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies" — aligns, since the speaker (a regulator) stresses the human element "cannot be removed" from auditing, consistent with keeping fiduciary-relevant judgment under human control. Positive evidence the source contains the quote.
