The source text explicitly states that the AI Now Institute was 'founded by Kate Crawford' with a reference to an NYU engineering news article. However, the source also lists 'Meredith Whittaker' as a co-founder with the same reference URL. The claim identifies only Kate Crawford as 'the Founder' (singular), but the source indicates there were multiple founders. This is a partial confirmation—Kate Crawford is confirmed as a founder, but the claim omits the co-founder Meredith Whittaker.
