The source confirms that Kate Crawford and Meredith Whittaker are the founders of AI Now Institute. However, the claim includes opaque identifiers (sid_77SnPuPnk8 and sid_3R1I5JCrP4) that cannot be verified from the Wikipedia source text. The source does not provide these identifiers, making that portion of the claim unverifiable. The core factual claim about the two founders is confirmed, but the identifiers cannot be validated against this source.

Note: The source confirms that Kate Crawford and Meredith Whittaker are the founders of AI Now Institute. However, the claim includes opaque identifiers (sid_77SnPuPnk8 and sid_3R1I5JCrP4) that cannot be verified from the Wikipedia source text. The source does not provide these identifiers, making that portion of the claim unverifiable. The core factual claim about the two founders is confirmed, but the identifiers cannot be validated against this source.
Note: The source text explicitly lists Kate Crawford and Meredith Whittaker as the founders of AI Now Institute in the infobox section. The narrative section also confirms they led the founding symposium in 2016 and publicly launched the institute in November 2017. The claim's reference to Crawford as a researcher and Whittaker as Signal president (now) aligns with the source identifying Crawford as a principal researcher and Whittaker as founder of Google's Open Research Group. The SIDs in the claim cannot be verified from this Wikipedia source, but the core claim about who founded the institute is directly confirmed.
