Disputed
The April 10, 2026 Digital Journal/AFP article attributes both lines to Imran Ahmed, and AFP syndications match. However, the source gives them in the opposite order: the 'Social media broadcasts to billions, AI whispers to one' sentence comes before the 'No society should build machines...' sentence. Since the submitted version reverses that order while using an ellipsis, it is not verbatim as presented.

Source URL on digitaljournal.com returns 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirms the exact quote text from Imran Ahmed (CEO of Center for Countering Digital Hate) at the Cambridge Disinformation Summit in April 2026. Multiple corroborating sources (TechXplore, Startup News, KTBS, Mountain Press, Canadian Affairs) carry the same wording and attribution. Both votes "for" align directly: (1) banning AI companion chatbots for minors and (2) requiring age verification/content safeguards for AI chatbots — both flow naturally from Ahmed's warning that AI "whispers to one" and meets children in their "loneliest moment" with harm disguised as help. Verified.
