AI Now Institute — Founded By: sid_77SnPuPnk8, sid_3R1I5JCrP4

NoteThe source directly confirms that Kate Crawford and Meredith Whittaker are the founders of AI Now Institute. The Wikipedia infobox lists 'Founders: Kate Crawford, Meredith Whittaker' and the body text confirms both individuals led the founding efforts. The opaque identifiers (sid_77SnPuPnk8, sid_3R1I5JCrP4) in the claim cannot be verified from the source, but the core claim about the founders' names and their roles is accurate. The additional context about Meredith Whittaker being 'now Signal president' is not addressed in the source, but that is not part of the founding claim itself.

NoteThe 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.
