AI Verified Confirmed. The official Planalto transcript (mirrored PDF) attributes to Lula the Portuguese sentence: “Mas nenhum desses foros substitui a universalidade das Nações Unidas para uma governança internacional da Inteligência Artificial que seja multilateral, inclusiva e orientada ao desenvolvimento” (lines 89–92), which matches the submitted English as a faithful translation. Agência Brasil also reports the same quotation, and an English-language report renders it closely. The supplied gov.br English URL was not directly retrievable because it presents a JavaScript/CAPTCHA barrier, but other reliable sources contain the quote.

AI Verified Verified via web search. The exact quote is confirmed from President Lula da Silva's speech at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi (February 19, 2026). Multiple sources (Planalto official transcript, Agência Brasil, ANBA, TI INSIDE, DD News) corroborate Lula's call for UN-led global AI governance and the specific phrasing about the "universality of the United Nations." Year 2026 is correct. Author attribution to Lula (President of Brazil) is correct. Vote "for" on statement 360 ("Establish a UN-led body to oversee compute-intensive AI") aligns perfectly with Lula's explicit advocacy for UN leadership in AI governance over other forums like BRICS, G7, or China-led initiatives. Could not directly fetch gov.br (403) but web search excerpts strongly corroborate. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
