AI Verified The source URL does contain this quote, with the omitted text matching exactly: “It's going to cross borders ... make sure the opportunities benefit the whole world ... it's going to need international cooperation,” and it attributes it to Demis Hassabis from a February 18, 2026 India AI Impact Summit appearance. Independent ANI coverage the same day separately reports Hassabis saying the opportunities should “benefit the whole world” and that mitigating the risks “would need international cooperation,” which supports the attribution and substance.

Disputed Disputed: I could not verify the quoted sentence as real and verbatim. The cited Open Magazine page does not contain it; instead it quotes Hassabis saying, “It is becoming an incredibly important convening point for international dialogue and hopefully cooperation over the future of AI.” A transcript of his keynote likewise has, “It’s become an incredibly important convening point for international dialogue and hopefully cooperation over the future of AI,” and later says such summits are “critical to encourage this kind of international dialogue and cooperation.” Mint/PTI summarizes that the UK→Paris→Seoul→India summit series helps ensure benefits are widely shared while mitigating risks, but not as the exact quoted wording. This looks like a stitched paraphrase/material alteration, not a confirmed verbatim quote by Hassabis.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Demis Hassabis (2026), from remarks at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The source_url (openthemagazine.com) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim: "International cooperation through forums like this summit, from the UK, Paris, Seoul, to India, is essential to ensure benefits are universal and dangers contained" (corroborated by The Tribune, Asianet Newsable, CXOToday, Digit, etc.). Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns — Hassabis explicitly calls for ensuring AI's benefits are "universal" / democratized across all, supporting broad sharing of AI's gains.
