The verified commitment specifically promised authorizing $100 million for CAISI to support common AI testing, evaluation, and verification standards. Verified evidence shows Liccardo materially advanced related legislation by introducing a bipartisan bill, but the relevant bill remained only introduced and a related amendment was withdrawn. There is no verified evidence that the $100 million authorization was enacted or that the promised standards outcome was achieved, so this is documented effort rather than delivery or partial fulfillment.
