Source evidence
2 src · 3 checksNoteThe source directly confirms all three key fields of the record: (1) name 'CHAI Research' is confirmed as 'Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence' (commonly abbreviated CHAI); (2) type 'lab' is confirmed by the organizational structure showing faculty, staff, and researchers conducting research; (3) status 'active' is confirmed by the presence of current staff (Executive Director Mark Nitzberg, Assistant Director Sarah Otis, active researchers and fellows with current affiliations). The source is the official people/staff page for this organization, making it authoritative for these basic organizational facts.
NoteQUA-650 retro-scan: The source is about the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence (CHAI) itself, not a division called 'CHAI Research'. Per QUA-648, a division/sub-unit is a MISMATCH from the parent organization. The claim specifies 'CHAI Research' as a division, while the source describes CHAI as the primary entity.
NoteThe source text directly confirms all three key fields: (1) name 'CHAI Research' is used throughout, (2) type as a 'lab' is implicit in the description of research activities, focus areas, and publications typical of a research laboratory, and (3) status as 'active' is confirmed by the present-tense description of ongoing research efforts ('CHAI strives to produce', 'we also advise', 'our interests extend') and the publication list dated through 2023. The text explicitly states CHAI began operating in 2016, establishing its active status.
