The Dailymotion source itself, uploaded by Bloomberg, includes a transcript at 04:20–04:21 with the exact wording: That's a political question. It has nothing to do with technology. The page title identifies the interview as Yann LeCun, and Bloomberg’s original page for the same video is dated 2026-02-19, matching the stored date. I found no reliable evidence that the stored quote text, author, source URL, or date need correction. ([dailymotion.com](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa0djio))

Disputed
Disputed: I found the same idea attributed to Yann LeCun, but not the submitted wording verbatim. In a transcript of the India AI Impact Summit fireside chat, LeCun says: “Are those benefits going to be shared across humanity or different categories of people in various countries? That’s a political question. It has nothing to do with technology.” ([dig.watch](https://dig.watch/event/india-ai-impact-summit-2026/fireside-conversation-02?diplo-deep-link-text=AI+has+to+deal+with+the+real+world%2C+the+messiness+of+the+real+world%2C+the+unpredictability+of+the+real+world.%3D%3D%3DSENTENCE%3D%3D%3DAI+has+to+deal+with+the+real+world%2C+the+messiness+of+the+real+world%2C+the+unpredictability+of+the+real+world.%7C%7C%7CSENT%7C%7C%7CAll+right.+Thank+you+so+much+for+this+conversation%2C+Professor.)) The Business Today source URL available via web does not contain the quoted text (searches on that page find no match for “benefits” or “political question”), and another report paraphrases the point rather than matching your wording exactly. ([businesstoday.in](https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/india-ai-impact-summit-2026-yann-lecun-calls-agi-overhyped-ai-should-amplify-human-intelligence-516980-2026-02-19))

Quote verified. BusinessToday source returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirmed the substance attributed to Yann LeCun at the India AI Impact Summit 2026: that whether AI's benefits are widely shared is a political question shaped by policy choices rather than technology itself. Corroborated by multiple outlets covering the summit (dqindia, Storyboard18, etvbharat). Author attribution correct; year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: on the statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth", LeCun neither endorses nor opposes — he reframes it as a political (not technological) question, so the "abstain" vote is appropriate.
