Quote verified. The exact phrase "AI poses many dangers to humanity but there is no existential threat or any evidence for one" is from Prof Noel Sharkey's contribution to the Science Media Centre's "expert reaction to a statement on the existential threat of AI published on the Centre for AI Safety website" (May/June 2023, responding to the CAIS statement). Source URL was 403-blocked but search results from sciencemediacentre.org confirm the exact wording. Author attribution to Noel Sharkey (emeritus AI/robotics professor at Sheffield) is correct, and vote "against" on the statement "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the quote. Year 2023 is appropriate.
