These threats are often referred to as the “existential threats of AI” because, of course, they could endanger the very existence of humanity.

Quote verified. VP Kamala Harris said "These threats are often referred to as the 'existential threats of AI' because, of course, they could endanger the very existence of humanity" in her major speech on AI at the U.S. Embassy in London on November 1, 2023 (around the Bletchley Park AI Summit). Source URL (Biden White House archives) was 403-blocked but search results from Las Vegas Sun, NY1, The American magazine, and the American Presidency Project corroborate the exact wording and venue. Author attribution and year (2023) are correct. The vote "for" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" is defensible: Harris went on to say "these threats without question are profound, and they demand global action," giving credence to the existential-threat framing — although the cited sentence on its own is somewhat descriptive of how the threats are framed.
