Verification History

AI Verified 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. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 16d ago
