The quote explicitly refers to 'AI extinction scenarios' and says preventing them should be a top priority, even above nuclear exchange. That clearly implies the author believes AI could threaten human extinction, i.e. poses an existential threat to humanity.

The quote urges urgent international action and says 'preventing AI extinction scenarios is considered a priority,' which presents AI as a possible extinction-level threat.

Verified. The cited TIME article, published March 29, 2023 and credited to Eliezer Yudkowsky, contains the exact passages: “Make immediate multinational agreements to prevent the prohibited activities from moving elsewhere.” and later “preventing AI extinction scenarios is considered a priority above preventing a full nuclear exchange ...” The supplied quote is therefore a faithful ellipsis-based excerpt from the source URL, correctly attributed to Yudkowsky.
