Comment by Jon Wolfsthal

The discussion over AGI should not be cast as a struggle between so called doomers and optimists. AGI presents a common challenge for all of humanity. We must to ensure we control technology and it does not control us. Until and unless developers and their funders know that a technology with the capacity to be smarter, faster, stronger and just as lethal as humanity cannot escape human control, it must not be unleashed. Ensuring we can enjoy the benefits of AI and AGI requires us to be responsible in its development.Verified source (Mar 27, 2026)

Verified: the source URL’s indexed text lists Jon Wolfsthal and contains the quoted passage verbatim, including the distinctive wording “We must to ensure...”. An official Future of Life Institute press release published March 27, 2026 also reproduces the same passage and attributes it to Jon Wolfsthal.

Disputed
An official Future of Life Institute press release published on March 27, 2026 attributes the statement to “Jon Wolfsthal,” not “John Wolfsthal,” and the official wording reads “We must to ensure we control technology...,” not the submitted “We must ensure...”. Search results for the statement site show the same “Jon Wolfsthal” / “We must to ensure” version, and Jon’s official FAS bio also uses the name “Jon Wolfsthal,” so the submitted quote is not verbatim and the attribution is off.
