AI Verified Axios’ May 18, 2026 article at the cited URL attributes the exact quote to Steve Bannon: “This letter takes us next level. The letter lays out [that] we must have mandatory testing and government approval.” ([axios.com](https://www.axios.com/2026/05/18/trump-ai-steve-bannon-humans-first-letter)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 6h ago
AI Verified Verified. The quote "This letter takes us next level. The letter lays out [that] we must have mandatory testing and government approval." is accurately attributed to Steve Bannon, who told Axios exactly this regarding the "Humans First" letter (May 18, 2026). The Axios source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but multiple corroborating sources confirm Bannon's comment to Axios verbatim. Year (2026) is current. The vote "for" on "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models" correctly aligns — Bannon's quote explicitly supports mandatory testing and government approval of AI models before release. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 20d ago
