NoteThe source confirms the person (Lilian Weng) and organization (OpenAI) match the claim. The source explicitly mentions 'my team at OpenAI' in the adversarial attacks article, confirming her employment there. However, the source does not provide her specific job title ('VP of Research') or her start date (2018). The blog is authored by Lilian and discusses her research work, which is consistent with a research leadership role, but the exact title and start date are not stated in the provided text. Therefore, the record is partially confirmed — the core facts about person and organization are verified, but the specific role title and start date remain unverifiable from this source.
