AI Verified WIRED’s source URL contains the exact sentence on August 22, 2017: the article first identifies Greg Allen, then immediately gives the quote and tags it with “he says,” which attributes the words to Allen. So the quote is present verbatim in the cited source and is correctly attributed to Greg Allen, even though the article itself was written by Tom Simonite.

AI Verified Verified via web search. Quote attributed to Greg Allen (AI/defense analyst, now at CSIS) confirmed in Wired article 'Sorry, Banning Killer Robots Just Isn't Practical' (2017). Direct fetch was blocked, but search results confirm Allen told Wired 'You are unlikely to achieve a full ban of autonomous weapons.' Vote 'against' on 'Ban autonomous lethal weapons' aligns with his pragmatic skepticism about the feasibility of such a ban. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
