Verification History

AI Verified The source PDF itself contains this sentence on page 2 (lines 55–58) in a document titled "Testimony of Dr. Rumman Chowdhury" dated January 15, 2026. That confirms the wording is verbatim in the source and attributed to Rumman Chowdhury; the only difference is normalizing the curly apostrophe in "people’s" to a straight apostrophe.

AI Unverifiable Quote attributed to Rumman Chowdhury (AI ethicist, Humane Intelligence CEO): "If you profit from deploying AI that affects people's fundamental rights, you must evaluate it, manage its risks, and be accountable when it discriminates." Year 2026 confirmed (testimony to the New York State Senate, Jan 15, 2026). Vote "for" on statement "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models" aligns correctly — Chowdhury argues deployers must be accountable when AI discriminates/causes harm. The source_url (nysenate.gov PDF of her testimony) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. However, web search corroborated the quote's substance and confirmed attribution to her Jan 15, 2026 NY Senate testimony. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source URL blocks automated fetching; corroboration is strong. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 25d ago
