The source text discusses the Safeguarded AI programme and mentions TA2 (Technical Area 2), but does not provide: (1) a specific budget amount of 1,000,000 for 'Safeguarded AI TA2 — Machine Learning', or (2) explicit confirmation that the program status is 'closed.' While the source indicates TA2 Phase 2 was aborted/stopped, it does not state a final budget figure or use the term 'closed' to describe the program's status. The name variation ('TA2 — Machine Learning' vs. references to 'TA2' generally) and the absence of budget/status data make these claims unverifiable against this source.
