[🇪🇸 Congreso, Jun 2024] Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups

Verification History

AI Verified Newly added 2026 companion quote to accompany the kept 2023 quote. Brad Smith (Microsoft vice chair and president) said in March 2026, in the context of AI guardrails to protect kids, "We have to protect children, or we don't deserve to be in business." Confirmed via multiple independent web searches; the source_url (whatfinger, dated 2026-03-24) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch but corroborates the quote and date. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment: the statement is about "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups," and Smith strongly supports protecting children (a vulnerable group) in AI, so a "for" vote is appropriate. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 2d ago
