Everybody needs to be part of the conversation. It shouldn’t simply be one person who has a multi-billion dollar company and gets to dictate that this is what’s right for all people. Especially when we’re talking about global technologies that are operating all over the world, impacting billions of people. [...] It includes bringing in experts from civil society and other areas, academia certainly, who have been thinking about these questions a lot, and I know have a lot to give. Regulators, it includes the people who are directly impacted, the users, and then yeah, the people who are building it, too. Bringing all of those voices together in a way that we’ll never find exact consensus, but can give us some idea of the direction we want to go, and then being ready to iterate as those views change as the technology changes.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly argues that decisions about what is 'right' for globally impactful AI/technology should involve many stakeholders—civil society, academia, regulators, affected users, and builders—not be dictated by a single company or developers alone. That matches the full statement about public deliberation over AI values/alignment.

The quote clearly favors broad public input: “Everybody needs to be part of the conversation” and it “shouldn’t simply be one person who has a multi-billion dollar company and gets to dictate” what is right; it explicitly includes civil society, academia, regulators, impacted users, and builders.

The IE Insights page at the provided URL, published March 4, 2026 and credited to Chloé Bakalar, includes a transcript that matches this quotation verbatim across two passages: the opening sentences appear in the transcript, then later the transcript contains the 'It includes bringing in experts...' and 'Bringing all of those voices together...' sentences exactly; the user's '[...]' faithfully omits intervening transcript text.

Checked: (1) Year 2026 — recent. (2) Relevancy — directly on-topic for statement #450; Bakalar argues AI values shouldn't be dictated by a single billionaire/company but decided through broad participation. (3) Author attribution — Chloé Bakalar is an AI ethicist and governance researcher (Princeton CITP; AI ethics work); web search confirmed this quote comes from her IE Insights talk "Who Decides AI's Values? Inside OpenAI's Ethics Debate," matching the source URL. (4) Vote alignment — quote calls for bringing together civil society, academia, regulators, users, and builders in deliberation rather than developer-only decisions; vote "for" is correct. (5) Source — direct WebFetch of the ie.edu page returned HTTP 403, but a web search returned the verbatim passages ("everybody needs to be part of the conversation. It shouldn't simply be one person who has a multi-billion dollar company and gets to dictate that this is what's right for all people" and the list of civil society/academia/regulators/users/builders) attributed to Bakalar at the same IE Insights URL. Quote is accurate and correctly sourced.
