CSET URL returned 403, but web search confirms Helen Toner made this exact statement at the Senate Judiciary hearing on April 22, 2026 (Stealth Stealing: China's Ongoing Theft of U.S. Innovation). IPWatchdog quotes her saying companies are "deadly serious about building machines that can outperform humans at everything" and "deadly serious that they don't know if they'll be able to control the machines they create." Vote "against" statement "AI alignment is solvable" aligns with Toner's expressed concern about lack of control. Year 2026 is correct.
