Future of Life Institute — Annual Expenses: $16.1 million
The claim states FLI's annual expenses were $16.1M as of 2021. The source document shows the fiscal year ending December 2021 had expenses of $16,065,773, which rounds to $16.1M. However, the source also displays more recent data: fiscal year 2024 shows expenses of $17,399,051 ($17.4M), and fiscal year 2023 shows expenses of $16,317,712 ($16.3M). The claim appears to reference 2021 data, but the exact figure of $16,065,773 is slightly different from $16.1M when considering precision. More importantly, the source now contains updated 2024 and 2023 data that supersedes the 2021 figure. Since the claim specifies '2021' and the source confirms approximately $16.1M for that year, this would normally be 'confirmed', but the presence of significantly more recent data (2024, 2023) makes this information outdated rather than current. However, re-reading the claim: it says 'as of 2021' which is a historical reference point. The 2021 figure of $16,065,773 ≈ $16.1M is confirmed for that specific year. The verdict should be 'confirmed' for the 2021 data point as claimed.
