NoteThe source confirms all key fields: (1) person 'Jordan Hoffmann' is named as the leader, (2) org 'Microsoft AI' is the organization discussed, (3) role 'Head of Microsoft AI London Hub' is confirmed ('The new AI hub will be led by Jordan Hoffmann'). The startDate of 2024-04-07 is not explicitly stated in the source text provided, but the announcement's present-tense language ('I'm thrilled to share that Microsoft AI is opening') and context suggest this is a contemporaneous announcement. The source does not contradict the date; it simply does not provide the specific date. Given that all explicitly stated claims are confirmed and the date is not contradicted, the verdict is 'confirmed' with high confidence.
