Verification History

AI Verified Verified. Attribution: James S. Fishkin, Director of Stanford's Deliberative Democracy Lab — bio is correct. Year 2026 matches (the industry-wide AI Agents deliberative forum was announced Feb 2026). Source: the Stanford FSI news page is the correct primary source. Quote text: confirmed verbatim via web search — Fishkin's full sentence is "By actively involving the public in shaping AI agent behavior, we're not just building better technology — we're building trust and ensuring these powerful tools align with societal values," which exactly matches the quote with the [...] elision. Vote alignment: Fishkin champions public deliberation over developer-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 could not load fsi.stanford.edu directly (HTTP 403 environment-wide); confirmation is via web search snippets quoting the page. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 3h ago
