Quote verified. The exact phrases "But it's not an existential threat" and "It's just a horrible, awful weapon" come from Joanna Bryson (Hertie School in Berlin) speaking to AFP in June/July 2023 about AI risks. The AFP wire story ran in many outlets including NDTV, Breitbart, Inquirer, Jordan Times, and SpaceWar/SpaceDaily. The [...] elides Bryson's context that she could imagine someone using AI to spread a poison like anthrax more quickly, but that this is not existential. Source URL not directly fetchable but corroborated across multiple syndicated copies. Author attribution to Joanna Bryson (AI ethics researcher) is correct, vote "against" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns. Year 2023 is appropriate.
