We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk of serious harm from the most advanced AI systems while still allowing this technology to get into the hands of the people and businesses — small and big — of Illinois.

AI Verified WIRED’s April 9, 2026 report and the Breitbart article dated April 13, 2026 both reproduce this sentence and attribute it to Jamie Radice, described as “an OpenAI spokesperson,” in an emailed statement. The wording matches the quoted passage, aside from minor typography/spacing around the em dashes.

AI Verified Quote attributed to OpenAI (2026) re: Illinois SB 3444. The Breitbart source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the quote and OpenAI's position were independently corroborated by multiple news sources (Fortune, ppc.land, Yahoo/AP, Futurism, TechBuzz), with search results directly confirming the text "the risk of serious harm from the most advanced AI systems while still allowing this technology to get into the hands of the people and businesses." Vote alignment is correct: the statement is "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models," and OpenAI is backing a bill to SHIELD/LIMIT AI-developer liability, so a vote of "against" accurately reflects their stance. Year is current (2026). Verified. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
