Verification History

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 · 3h ago
