The quote clearly treats AI, specifically superintelligence without safeguards, as a possible extinction-level danger and says such warnings should be taken seriously. That implies support for the view that AI can pose an existential threat to humanity.

AI Unverifiable
The quote treats extinction warnings seriously and says superintelligence "could" be dangerous, but it does not clearly state that AI does pose an existential threat.

Verified: the exact quote appears verbatim and is explicitly attributed to “Mark Beall” in the official Future of Life Institute press release about the Statement on Superintelligence, and search results for the source URL itself show the same wording on superintelligence-statement.org. FLI’s open-letters index dates the Statement on Superintelligence to September 22, 2025.
