NoteThe source confirms the core elements: (1) FLI campaign ✓, (2) calls for prohibition on superintelligence development ✓, (3) condition of 'broad scientific consensus' on safety ✓, (4) signature count ~70,000 (source shows 70,008, claim says '69,000+' — within range, confirmed ✓). However, the source does NOT list the specific signatories (Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Steve Wozniak) by name in the excerpt provided. The claim's 'as of 2025-10' temporal marker aligns with the source's current state. The signature count is confirmed as exceeding 69,000. The specific named signatories cannot be verified from this excerpt alone, making the claim partially confirmed — the campaign, structure, and signature threshold are verified, but the named individuals are unverifiable from the provided source text.
