This is not a ban or even a moratorium in the usual sense. It’s simply a proposal to require adequate safety measures for a technology that, according to its developers, has a significant chance to cause human extinction. Is that too much to ask?Verified source (2025)

ai_verified: The quote links AI to “a significant chance to cause human extinction” and uses that risk to justify safety measures. That clearly implies the author treats AI as posing an existential threat to humanity.

The quote cites that the technology, "according to its developers, has a significant chance to cause human extinction," but does not unambiguously state this as the author's own position.

Verified: the exact quote is indexed on the source URL under “Stuart Russell,” and the Future of Life Institute’s official press release dated March 27, 2026 reproduces the same wording verbatim and attributes it to Stuart Russell. FLI’s official project archive lists “Statement on Superintelligence” as dated October 22, 2025, which supports the claimed year, and UC Berkeley identifies the author’s full name as Stuart J. Russell. ([superintelligence-statement.org](https://superintelligence-statement.org/?utm_source=openai))
