AI Now Institute — Legal Structure: Independent nonprofit research institute

Note: The source explicitly confirms that AI Now is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and states 'It is now a fully independent institute.' While the source doesn't specify the exact date of independence as 'mid-2022,' it confirms the current status as an independent nonprofit. The claim's additional context about becoming independent in mid-2022 is not contradicted by the source—the source simply doesn't provide the specific timing, making that aspect unverifiable but not contradicted.

Note: The source confirms AI Now is an independent nonprofit (501(c)(3)), which matches the claim's legal structure. However, the source does not specify when it became independent. The claim states it 'became independent in mid-2022,' but the source only says 'It is now a fully independent institute' without providing a date. The source confirms the original NYU partnership but does not verify the specific timing of independence (mid-2022). This is a partial confirmation because the current status is verified but the temporal detail is unverifiable from this source.
