frontier AI auditing (covering both safety and security) is both urgently needed and doable, and can help avoid extreme concentration of power, since it introduces external oversight into the decision-making of people with a “country of geniuses in a datacenter” at their disposal.

AI Verified Verified: the provided URL is a Miles Brundage Substack post titled “We're in Triage Mode for AI Policy,” credited to Miles Brundage and dated 2026-02-22. It contains the quoted wording verbatim as a contiguous excerpt within a longer sentence (beginning “I think frontier AI auditing ...”), so the stored content, author, date, and source URL are correct.

Disputed The cited Substack post exists, is authored by Miles Brundage, and is dated February 22, 2026. However, the source text is not verbatim as submitted: it says "I think frontier AI auditing ..." rather than starting "Frontier AI auditing ...", so the provided quote omits words and changes the opening. That makes the submitted quotation not an exact match.

AI Verified Verified. WebFetch on the Substack URL returned HTTP 403, but a targeted web search confirmed the quote ("Frontier AI auditing (covering both safety and security) is both urgently needed and doable, and can help avoid extreme concentration of power, since it introduces external oversight into the decision-making of people with a 'country of geniuses in a datacenter' at their disposal") matches Miles Brundage's post "We're in Triage Mode for AI Policy" at the exact source URL. Author attribution is correct (Miles Brundage, founder/Executive Director of AVERI, the AI Verification Initiative, and former OpenAI Head of Policy Research). The quote is directly on-topic for the statement "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" and clearly expresses support for it. Note: no vote is currently associated with this quote (vote is null); given the quote's content a "for" vote would be the natural alignment, but there is no existing vote to correct. Year 2026 matches. Source URL is the author's own primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
