AI Now Institute — Founded By: sid_77SnPuPnk8, sid_3R1I5JCrP4
The source Wikipedia article explicitly lists Kate Crawford and Meredith Whittaker as the founders of AI Now Institute, founded November 15, 2017. The claim correctly identifies both founders. The opaque identifiers (sid_77SnPuPnk8, sid_3R1I5JCrP4) cannot be verified from the source text, but the core claim about who founded the institute is directly confirmed. The additional context about Crawford being a researcher and Whittaker being Signal president is also consistent with the source (which describes Crawford as a principal researcher at Microsoft Research).
