Helen Toner — Notable For: Former OpenAI board member who voted to remove Sam Altman in November 2023; Interim Executive Director of Georgetown CSET; TIME 100 Most Influential People in AI 2024; expertise in US-China AI competition and AI governance

NoteThe source confirms three of the four main claims: (1) Former OpenAI board member who voted to remove Sam Altman in November 2023 — explicitly confirmed; (2) TIME 100 Most Influential People in AI 2024 — confirmed by the article's publication in the TIME100 AI issue; (3) Expertise in AI governance — confirmed throughout the article. However, the specific title 'Interim Executive Director of Georgetown CSET' is not mentioned in the source text provided. The source only describes her as 'a formerly obscure expert in AI governance based at Georgetown University.' The claim about US-China AI competition expertise is not explicitly addressed in this excerpt, though her general AI governance expertise is confirmed. The 'as of 2026-03' date in the claim cannot be verified against a source dated September 2024, making that temporal reference unverifiable.
