Verification History

AI Verified Quote attributed to Michael Kratsios (OSTP Director), year 2026. The NBC News source URL returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the exact quote verbatim: "Creating a patchwork of AI laws where 50 different states all have different goals is ultimately going to hurt little tech and startups more than anyone else." It is from the NBC News article on Kratsios heading to Davos to promote Trump's light-touch AI approach. The quote argues against a patchwork of state-level AI rules and favors a unified federal framework, which is consistent with the "against" vote on the statement "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government."
