Quote verified. The full quote, "If greater-than-human artificial general intelligence is invented without due caution, it is all but certain that the human species will be extinct in very short order," is from Michael Vassar's Big Think video "Unchecked AI Will Bring On Human Extinction" (published Feb 24, 2015). The [...] in the YouCongress quote elides "it is all but certain that". Source URL was 403-blocked but search results from Big Think, Futurism, and Wikiquote corroborate the quote and attribution. Vote "for" on the statement "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the quote. Updated year from null to 2015.
