AI Verified Verified. Attribution/bio: John P. Nelson, Oregon State University public policy / sociology-of-science professor focused on aligning technology with public values and democratic governance — correct. Source: his Issues in Science and Technology article "What Do We Want From AI?" (issues.org/ai-public-values-nelson/) — the source_url is the correct primary source; year 2026 matches. Quote text: confirmed via web search returning the article's wording essentially verbatim — "researchers and engineers could engage with citizens and social scientists to align technology design and implementation with public values in the process of development." Vote alignment: the quote calls for engaging citizens/social scientists in technology development to reflect public values, 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 article. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
