Quote text confirmed via web search (Guardian blocks WebFetch). Multiple secondary sources (Common Dreams, The Fiscal Times, Engineering Evil) corroborate that Jody Williams told The Guardian "Killer robots loom over our future if we do not take action to ban them now" when launching the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots in February 2013. Vote "for" aligns perfectly with the statement "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" — Williams co-founded the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots and has continuously called for an international treaty banning lethal autonomous weapons. Year 2013: while older, this is the canonical primary source for the famous quote, and her position has remained consistent in subsequent years (still actively campaigning in 2025). Source URL is the primary source.
