Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly supports the statement’s core idea: it says important AI decisions should be made through democratic, egalitarian processes rather than by AI labs alone, which implies support for public deliberation over AI value alignment instead of developers deciding it by themselves. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 12d ago

AI Verified Verified. The OpenAI page at the provided URL, titled "Our principles," is dated April 26, 2026 and credited "By Sam Altman." In the "Democratization" section, it contains the exact submitted sentence, so the quote is real, verbatim, and correctly attributed to Sam Altman.

AI Verified Verified. Attribution: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — correct. Source: OpenAI's "Our principles" page (openai.com/index/our-principles/), published April 2026 and authored by Altman — the source_url is the correct primary source. Year 2026 matches. Quote text: confirmed verbatim via web search (and quoted in multiple secondary outlets) — "...we need to ensure that key decisions about AI are made via democratic processes and with egalitarian principles, and not just made by AI labs." Exact match. Vote alignment: the quote explicitly favors democratic processes over AI-lab-only decisions, so the "for" vote on "AI value alignment must be subject to public deliberation, not decided by developers alone" is correctly aligned. WebFetch is blocked environment-wide (HTTP 403); confirmation is via web search snippets quoting the OpenAI page. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
