[The spending on AI safety is] off by a factor of 10 to 50 million. This is the biggest technology project in human history [...] The only way forward is to figure out how to make AI safety a condition of doing business.

Quote verified. The startupnews.fyi source returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirmed: the article's own headline attributes "Off by a factor of 10 to 50 million" to Stuart Russell, and search results directly quote him saying "I think the only way forward is to figure out how to make AI safety a condition of doing business," delivered at the New Delhi AI Impact Summit 2026. Corroborated by Fortune, Yahoo Finance, Vision Times and Market Realist. Author attribution correct; year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: on the statement "Mandate big AI companies spend 30% of compute on AI safety", Russell argues current safety spending is off by a factor of tens of millions (far too little) and that safety must be a condition of doing business, strongly supporting a mandate, so the "for" vote matches.
