Yes. The source FT page is an op-ed titled "We must not grant AI agents legal personhood," and independent summaries identify this Amsterdam/Batavia line as Harari’s concluding warning against Milei’s proposal for AI-run "non-human corporations." In context, it clearly implies opposition to granting AI agents legal personhood as non-human corporations. ([ft.com](https://www.ft.com/content/b8cc4bf4-6d3c-4974-8428-9a091983c473))

The quote contrasts "a new Amsterdam" with "a new Batavia" in discussing Milei and Buenos Aires; it says nothing about AI agents, corporations, or legal personhood. Any link to the statement would be too speculative.

Verified. The FT URL resolves to the paywalled article titled “We must not grant AI agents legal personhood”; Harari’s official site lists that FT piece on June 8, 2026, and Forbes reproduces the exact sentence and attributes it to Harari’s FT rebuttal. A Spanish republication linked to the same FT URL ends with a faithful translation of the same line, supporting that the FT article contains it. The stored author, date, quote text, and canonical FT URL are consistent with the available evidence. ([ft.com](https://www.ft.com/content/b8cc4bf4-6d3c-4974-8428-9a091983c473))
