Comment by Stephen Hawking
Theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author
The primitive forms of artificial intelligence we already have, have proved very useful. But I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.

Guardian URL blocks WebFetch (403) but Google search snippet directly confirmed the exact quote text from the Guardian article dated December 2, 2014. The original quote came from Hawking's BBC interview about his Intel communication system upgrade, which The Guardian covered. Author attribution is correct (Stephen Hawking, theoretical physicist). Vote alignment is correct: warning that AI "could spell the end of the human race" supports the "for" vote on statement 176 "AI poses an existential threat to humanity".
