AI Verified Verified. Fortune's April 17, 2026 article attributes the two sentences to Yoshua Bengio. In the source, the first sentence is followed by the attribution 'he said,' and the second starts immediately after; the user's [...] omits that attribution and later continuation, but the wording is otherwise the same and correctly attributed.

AI Verified Verified. WebFetch of the Fortune source returned HTTP 403 (Fortune blocks automated fetches), but an independent web search confirmed the exact quote — "There needs to be an agency really in charge of overseeing these kinds of decisions" — appears in this April 17, 2026 Fortune article, correctly attributed to Yoshua Bengio. Context: Bengio calls for international coordination and an FDA-like/UN-style regulatory body to oversee high-stakes AI decisions, which directly supports the statement "Establish a UN-led body to oversee compute-intensive AI." The "for" vote aligns with the quote. Year 2026 is current and relevant. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 24d ago
