AI Verified Verified. I could not directly open the CNBC URL because of robots.txt, but multiple reliable June 1–2, 2026 reports reproduce the exact sentence and attribute it to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier at a Monday press conference; CBS News and the Los Angeles Times both match the wording verbatim.

AI Verified Quote: "People are getting hurt, parents are getting deceived, and they need to pay for it." — James Uthmeier (FL AG), 2026. The source_url (CNBC) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, as did Yahoo and The Hill mirrors. However, web search positively confirmed the exact quote attributed to Uthmeier in the context of Florida's June 1, 2026 lawsuit against OpenAI/Sam Altman (corroborated across CNBC, The Hill, Yahoo News, CBS News, Variety). Author attribution is correct (39th FL AG). Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on statement 395 ("AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models") aligns correctly — Uthmeier filed suit specifically to hold OpenAI liable for alleged harms. Quote is relevant and reflects the whole meaning of the statement. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
