There’s no one forcing them to work with third-party experts to make sure that things are safe and secure.

AI Verified Fortune’s January 15, 2026 article contains the exact sentence “There’s no one forcing them to work with third-party experts to make sure that things are safe and secure.” and explicitly attributes it to Miles Brundage with “Brundage told Fortune.” The stored quote text, author, date, and source URL match the source.

Disputed Disputed: I found the January 15, 2026 Fortune article, but it does not contain this sentence verbatim. Instead, Fortune attributes to Brundage a different remark about companies setting their own norms and lacking mandatory third-party safety/security review, while the article’s narration separately says AI companies shouldn’t “grade their own homework.” Searches within the article show no match for “Whether AI is a normal technology...” or the exact supplied wording, so this appears to be a paraphrase/conflation rather than a verbatim Brundage quote.

AI Verified Quote by Miles Brundage (founder of AVERI, former OpenAI Head of Policy Research), 2026, from the Fortune article at the provided source_url. Direct WebFetch returned 403, but web search confirmed the exact quote text appears in coverage of AVERI's launch: "Whether AI is a normal technology or an unusually dangerous one, it doesn't make sense for companies to check their own homework on safety and security." Attribution and year 2026 correct; source URL is the genuine primary Fortune article. The quote directly supports statement "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" — AVERI was founded specifically to advocate independent/third-party safety audits. Note: no vote is associated with this quote (vote was null), so no vote alignment to check; the quote's stance is clearly "for" the statement. Quote is relevant and captures the statement's meaning. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
