The quote clearly supports the full statement: by saying autonomous weapons are 'the most dangerous existential threat that AI poses to humanity,' the author explicitly presupposes that AI does pose an existential threat to humanity.

The quote explicitly says AI "poses to humanity" an "existential threat," calling autonomous weapons "the most dangerous existential threat that AI poses to humanity."

The exact sentence appears in the cited TechCrunch article dated September 22, 2021, and it is explicitly attributed to Kai-Fu Lee as part of a longer quote: “My view is that autonomous weapons are the most dangerous existential threat that AI poses to humanity. I wanted the story to be darker...” TechCrunch also states that the interview quotes were “lightly edited for clarity,” so this verifies the published wording in that source and the attribution to Lee.

Verified via web search. Kai-Fu Lee made this statement in a September 2021 TechCrunch interview about his book "AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future". The TechCrunch URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the quote is confirmed verbatim through search results. The vote 'for' the statement 'AI poses an existential threat to humanity' aligns correctly — Lee explicitly identifies autonomous weapons as an existential threat from AI.
