The Fortune URL from January 15, 2026 does not contain the sentence; it only says Bengio wants AI developed as a global public good. A third-party transcript of his TED2025 talk contains similar wording, but another transcript splits the ending differently, so the stored text is not verifiable as a verbatim Fortune quote and I cannot safely recover one canonical exact wording. TED’s official materials place the talk in April 2025, not 2026.

The cited Fortune article from January 15, 2026 does not contain this wording; it only says LawZero aims to “develop AI as a global public good.” ([fortune.com](https://fortune.com/2026/01/15/ai-godfather-yoshua-bengio-changes-view-on-ai-risks-sees-fix-becomes-optimistic-lawzero-board-of-advisors/)) A close but non-verbatim match appears in a transcript of Bengio’s TED2025 talk: “I have a vision of advanced AI in the future as a global public good, governed safely towards human flourishing for the benefit of all.” ([singjupost.com](https://singjupost.com/transcript-of-the-catastrophic-risks-of-ai-and-a-safer-path-yoshua-bengio/)) Because the submitted quote drops “I have a vision of” and inserts “[must be],” and the Fortune URL does not contain the line, the quote is materially altered for this source/attribution. ([fortune.com](https://fortune.com/2026/01/15/ai-godfather-yoshua-bengio-changes-view-on-ai-risks-sees-fix-becomes-optimistic-lawzero-board-of-advisors/))

Quote attributed to Yoshua Bengio (2026). The source_url (fortune.com, Jan 15 2026) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch. However, the quoted text closely matches the official, documented mission of LawZero — the nonprofit Bengio founded and chairs — which states that "AI should be cultivated as a global public good—developed and used safely towards human flourishing" (corroborated via PR Newswire, HPCwire, LawZero.org, and UdeM). The Fortune article's existence and Bengio's January 2026 commentary are confirmed by search. Attribution is correct and year 2026 is current. Note: no vote is currently attached to this quote/statement pairing, so vote-direction could not be checked. The statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" is thematically supported by Bengio's framing of AI as "a global public good ... for the benefit of all," though his emphasis is on safe governance/human flourishing broadly rather than economic distribution specifically. Quote is accurately attributed and authentic; verified.
