Verified. The provided Hachette Book Group page contains the exact quote in its Praise section and attributes it to Bruce Schneier (“Lecturer, Harvard Kennedy School and author of A Hacker’s Mind”). Independent book listings also reproduce the same blurb, supporting that this is a real endorsement, and the Hachette page shows the title’s on-sale date as September 16, 2025.

Disputed. On the official Hachette page for this book, the exact quote "A sober but highly readable book on the very real risks of AI. Both skeptics and believers need to understand the authors’ arguments, and work to ensure that our AI future is more beneficial than harmful." appears, but it is attributed to Bruce Schneier, not Ben Bernanke. The same page lists Bernanke with a different endorsement: "A clearly written and compelling account of the existential risks that highly advanced AI could pose to humanity. Recommended."
