UNILAD Tech’s April 8, 2026 article attributes this line to Sam Altman and contains the quoted wording, preceded by a short lead-in (“Someone’s going to try and misuse those, and for now, ...”). Axios’ related interview/article is dated April 6, 2026, which supports the stored date; the stored text is a faithful excerpt with an omission marker.

I found the April 6, 2026 Axios article about the same interview and bio/cyber remarks, but that page does not contain this exact wording. A secondary report quoting Altman gives the fuller line with “for now” and “mitigate those,” not “mitigate [risks],” so the submitted quote is edited rather than verbatim, even though it is based on remarks attributed to Sam Altman.

Source URL (axios.com/2026/04/06/behind-the-curtain-sams-superintelligence-new-deal) returned 403 Forbidden. Web search confirms the Axios article from April 6, 2026 titled "Behind the Curtain: Sam's superintelligence New Deal." Search results confirm Altman stated "when the frontier models are in the hands of pretty responsible companies, I think we can mitigate those by the companies aligning their models and having good classifiers and good safety stacks." The quote, attribution, and source are confirmed. Vote "for" (AI alignment is solvable) is correct - Altman expresses confidence that alignment through responsible companies is sufficient. Year 2026 is correct. Source URL could not be directly fetched due to site blocking.
