Quote authenticity comments

AI Verified Verified: the quoted sentence appears in the cited Guardian article, which reports Musk saying, “AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilisation.” An independent transcript of his July 2017 National Governors Association remarks gives the same sentence with U.S. spelling (“civilization”), confirming the quote is authentic and correctly attributed to Elon Musk.
