NoteThe claim is largely confirmed: (1) FLI campaign = Asilomar AI Principles ✓, (2) January 2017 timing is approximately correct (conference was 2017, published August 2017) ✓, (3) 23 principles ✓, (4) 5,700+ signatories is confirmed (source shows 5,720 as of August 2017, which rounds to 5,700+) ✓. However, the source excerpt does not explicitly list Stuart Russell, Elon Musk, or Demis Hassabis as signatories—it only states 'The list of signatories includes:' followed by a JavaScript requirement note. The claim's specific named signatories cannot be verified from this excerpt, though the source indicates a full list exists elsewhere. The date precision is slightly off (claim says January 2017, but the conference/principles were developed in 2017 and published August 2017), but this is a minor temporal imprecision rather than a contradiction.
