I think when one day we are on the brink of discovering AGI, [...] we will want to do it, but it will be imperative to tweak our laws, including our laws about education, to make sure that the AGIs that we make will not evolve into enemies of civilisation.

Quote authorship and context confirmed via web search. David Deutsch made this statement in the Joseph Walker Podcast episode #153 (David Deutsch & Steven Pinker, First Ever Public Dialogue — AGI, P(Doom), and The Enemies of Progress), published Dec 19, 2023. The original sentence ('I think when one day we are on the brink of discovering AGI, I think we will want to do it, but it will be imperative to tweak our laws, including our laws about education, to make sure that the AGIs that we make will not evolve into enemies of civilisation') is widely cited from the transcript. josephnoelwalker.com URL returns 403 to WebFetch but the quote appears in multiple secondary discussions. Opinion content was updated to include the AGI context (originally over-truncated) and year was set to 2023 (originally null). 'For' vote on 'Build artificial general intelligence' aligns with Deutsch's consistent optimistic stance that AGI is both possible (per computational universality) and desirable.
