The quote is authentic. The cited MIRI post from June 18, 2025 attributes to Ben Bernanke the endorsement: “A clearly written and compelling account of the existential risks that highly advanced AI could pose to humanity. Recommended.” The same wording and attribution also appear on the book’s official praise page and a retailer listing. Your submitted text is a verbatim excerpt of that full endorsement.

Quote verified. Ben Bernanke's full endorsement of the Yudkowsky/Soares book "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" (2025) reads: "A clearly written and compelling account of the existential risks that highly advanced AI could pose to humanity. Recommended." This endorsement is documented on the MIRI endorsements page and was widely cited in coverage of the book. Direct WebFetch was 403-blocked for several relevant URLs but multiple search results corroborate the exact wording. Author attribution to Ben Bernanke (former Federal Reserve Chair, Nobel-winning economist) is correct, and vote "for" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the endorsement's framing. Updated source URL from aisgf.us (which republishes endorsements) to MIRI's original endorsements announcement, the more authoritative primary source.
