Verified via web search. Stephen Hawking's December 2014 BBC interview is widely documented: "Once humans develop artificial intelligence it would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded." The [...] elisions correctly preserve the original meaning. The quote is attributed to Hawking on NBC, Time, Phys.org, NDTV, CBS, etc. Vote "for" aligns with the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" — Hawking's "take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate" describes exactly that. Year 2014 matches. Hawking died in 2018 so this is the most recent authentic statement available. Source URL blocked by anti-bot but content fully verified.
