The quote clearly implies support for the statement: saying we cannot yet "guarantee the safety of humanity" while "racing ahead" to build such AI systems indicates the author sees AI as posing a potentially civilization-ending or existential danger to humanity.

The quote expresses serious safety concern — "we do not yet know how to ... guarantee the safety of humanity" — but it does not clearly state that AI poses an existential threat.

The 12 August 2023 post by Yoshua Bengio contains the relevant sentence, and your ellipses faithfully omit "make an AI agent controllable and thus" and "– myself included until now –"; the quote is therefore real, verbatim apart from omissions, and correctly attributed to Bengio.
