AI Verified Quote: "We know that Big Tech will still try to cut corners on safety and security. [...] Lawmakers need to create a legal framework that makes federal government review of advanced AI models mandatory." — Brendan Steinhauser (2026). The source_url (rollcall.com, dated 2026-06-02) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. However, a web search confirmed the exact quote phrases and attribution: Steinhauser (CEO of The Alliance for Secure AI) made these remarks in response to an executive order setting voluntary cyber reviews for advanced AI, arguing voluntary reviews are insufficient and federal review should be mandatory. Author attribution correct, year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: statement is "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models" and his vote is "for," matching the quote in which he advocates mandatory government review of advanced AI models. Verified based on strong independent confirmation of the quote and attribution; source page itself blocks automated fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 5h ago
