Meta AI policy executive
Technology better serves people when it's grounded in their feedback and expectations. This Forum reinforces how companies and researchers can collaborate to make sure AI agents are built to be responsive to the diverse needs of people who use them. [...] Through Stanford’s established methodology and their facilitation of industry partners, the Industry-Wide Forum provides the public with the opportunity to engage deeply with complex technological issues and for AI companies to benefit from considered public perspectives in developing products that are responsive to public opinion. We hope this is the first step towards more collaboration among industry, academia, and the public to shape the future of AI in ways that benefit everyone.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly supports involving the public in shaping AI: it says AI should be grounded in public feedback, gives the public a chance to engage on complex AI issues, and calls for collaboration among industry, academia, and the public. That implies support for AI alignment being publicly deliberated rather than left to developers alone.

Verified: Stanford FSI’s February 16, 2026 article attributes this statement to Rob Sherman and contains the submitted wording on the page; the quoted opening sentences and the later paragraph beginning with Stanford’s methodology appear there, so the user’s [...] functions as a permissible omission rather than a fabrication.

Checked: (1) Year 2026 — recent. (2) Relevancy — directly on-topic for statement #450 on public deliberation in AI value alignment; the quote describes Stanford's Industry-Wide Forum gathering public input to shape AI agents. (3) Author attribution — Rob Sherman is Meta's VP of AI Policy & Deputy Chief Privacy Officer; web search confirmed this exact statement is attributed to him in the Stanford FSI article. (4) Vote alignment — quote endorses public/collaborative deliberation in shaping AI, so "for" on the statement is correct. (5) Source — direct WebFetch of the fsi.stanford.edu page returned HTTP 403, but a web search returned the verbatim passage ("Technology better serves people when it's grounded in their feedback and expectations. This Forum reinforces how companies and researchers can collaborate to make sure AI agents are built to be responsive to the diverse needs of people who use them...") attributed to Rob Sherman with the same FSI URL as the confirmed source. Quote is accurate and correctly sourced.
