Verified: the official GOV.UK page for “Prime Minister's speech on AI: 26 October 2023” identifies it as a transcript of a speech delivered by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on 26 October 2023, and it contains the sentence verbatim: “And in the most unlikely but extreme cases, there is even the risk that humanity could lose control of AI completely…” ([gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/prime-ministers-speech-on-ai-26-october-2023))

Web search confirms the exact quote "in the most unlikely but extreme cases, there is even the risk that humanity could lose control of AI completely" is from Rishi Sunak's speech on AI at the Royal Society, 26 October 2023. Multiple secondary sources (CNBC, HuffPost UK, GB News, EA Forum) corroborate. The gov.uk source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the speech is widely documented. The "for" vote on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" is consistent with Sunak's warning. Year 2023 is accurate. Sunak is no longer PM so no need to update with a more recent comparable quote.
