From the investigation

A September 2022 policy panel hosted by the Center for Data Innovation places him beside FLI's Anthony Aguirre, DeepMind's Alexandra Belias, Hugging Face's Irene Solaiman, and Kai Zenner, then head of office and digital policy adviser to MEP Axel Voss. It is a concrete earlier point of contact with the FLI and European policy worlds. It establishes coappearance, not an alliance or payment. [M01]
