Quote text confirmed via web search (Guardian blocks WebFetch). Stuart Russell's quote "A treaty banning autonomous weapons would prevent large-scale manufacturing of the technology" is corroborated by secondary sources reporting on the November 13, 2017 Guardian article "Ban on killer robots urgently needed, say scientists" by Ian Sample, in the context of Russell's Slaughterbots video screening at the UN CCW. Vote "for" aligns perfectly with the statement "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" — Russell is one of the most prominent AI researchers advocating for an international treaty banning lethal autonomous weapons. Year 2017 is older but Russell's position has remained consistent and this is the canonical source for this specific quote. Source URL is the primary source.
