The quote is directly about pausing AI development and stopping systems humans cannot control, which is on the same policy issue as banning superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached; in the PDF it appears in Sanders’ letter urging a "pause AI development" and warning of catastrophe.

The letter explicitly says “Pause AI development” and “Stop building machines that humans cannot control,” and it argues for halting development until strong safeguards are in place, so the author is clearly for a ban/pause until safety conditions are met.
