Comment by Mary Robinson

Former Irish president; Elders chair
AI offers extraordinary promise to advance human rights, tackle inequality, and protect our planet, but the pursuit of superintelligence threatens to undermine the very foundations of our common humanity. We must act with both ambition and responsibility by choosing the path of human-centred AI that serves dignity and justice.

AI Verified Future of Life Institute's official press release dated March 27, 2026 gives this quote verbatim and explicitly attributes it to Mary Robinson. FLI's open-letter archive lists "Statement on Superintelligence" as a 22 September 2025 open letter, and the source URL's search snippet also shows the same quote under her name. So the quote is authentic and correctly attributed; the only nuance is that a later 2026 FLI press release republishes it while the statement itself is a 2025 item.
