AI Now Institute — Legal Structure: Independent nonprofit research institute

NoteThe source confirms both key aspects of the claim: (1) AI Now Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (stated in the infobox), and (2) it became independent from NYU (the text explicitly states 'It is now a fully independent institute' after describing its 2017 launch in partnership with NYU). While the source does not specify the exact timing as 'mid-2022', it does confirm the institute transitioned from being housed at NYU to becoming fully independent. The legal structure as an independent nonprofit is directly confirmed.

NoteThe source confirms AI Now is an independent nonprofit (501(c)(3)), which matches the claim's legal structure. However, the source does not specify when it became independent. The claim states it 'became independent in mid-2022,' but the source only says 'It is now a fully independent institute' without providing a date. The source confirms the original NYU partnership but does not verify the specific timing of independence (mid-2022). This is a partial confirmation because the current status is verified but the temporal detail is unverifiable from this source.
