The supplied PYMNTS page is dated April 19, 2026 and directly quotes Schulman about this being a difficult time and about leaders telling the truth, but it does not contain the claimed wording; a page search on that URL finds no "dead certain" text. Separately, Inc.com uses the phrase about AI being "dead certain to eliminate jobs" as reporter narration, not as a quoted Dan Schulman statement. So the stored quote is not verbatim and is not present at the source URL.

The claimed wording is not in the cited PYMNTS article. That page attributes to Schulman quotes such as “It’s a very difficult time, and everyone knows it is” and “telling the truth, as best you can,” but not “dead certain to eliminate jobs.” ([pymnts.com](https://www.pymnts.com/artificial-intelligence-2/2026/verizons-dan-schulman-tells-ceos-to-be-open-about-ai-job-cuts/)) The closest match I found is in Inc., which says AI has “a starring role that’s dead certain to eliminate jobs,” but that sentence is reporter narration, not a quotation from Schulman. ([inc.com](https://www.inc.com/kevin-haynes/verizon-ceo-ai-is-coming-for-your-job-and-everyone-knows-it/91333101)) So the submitted quote is not verified as a real verbatim Dan Schulman quote and is materially altered/misattributed.

Verified. Source check: fetched the pymnts.com article (2026) and confirmed it contains the verbatim quote — "It's dead certain to eliminate jobs," Schulman said, referring to the rise of artificial intelligence. The opinion text "[AI's rise is] dead certain to eliminate jobs." faithfully represents this with the bracketed clarification matching the article's "referring to the rise of artificial intelligence." Author attribution correct: Dan Schulman is Verizon CEO and former PayPal CEO. Vote alignment correct: the quote asserts AI will eliminate jobs, which is AGAINST the statement "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" — the recorded vote is 'against'. Year (2026) is present and recent. All checks pass.
