AI Verified Verified. The cited August 12, 2023 blog post, "Personal and Psychological Dimensions of AI Researchers Confronting AI Catastrophic Risks," is credited "By Yoshua Bengio" and contains the exact text as part of a longer sentence: "...which increased my awareness of a possible existential risk for humanity if we do not maintain control over superhuman AI systems." This makes the quote verbatim and correctly attributed.

AI Verified Web search confirms the exact quote "possible existential risk for humanity if we do not maintain control over superhuman AI systems" is from Yoshua Bengio's August 12, 2023 blog post "Personal and Psychological Dimensions of AI Researchers Confronting AI Catastrophic Risks" on yoshuabengio.org. The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the post is well-documented and the exact phrase appears in search snippets. The "for" vote on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" aligns with Bengio's stated concern about existential risk. Year 2023 is accurate, and Bengio's position remains consistent in 2025 (LawZero, ongoing warnings). · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
