Verified on the official Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs page: the speech dated 2025-09-26 is attributed to Senator the Hon Penny Wong and contains the quoted wording, with the bracketed ellipses only omitting intervening words such as “potential” and “to demand it is safe, secure,”. The stored author, date, source URL, and quote are consistent with the source.

The official 26 September 2025 speech on Penny Wong’s government page contains the lines AI’s potential use in nuclear weapons and unmanned systems challenges the future of humanity and We must establish standards for the use of AI to demand it is safe, secure, responsible and ethical. The submitted version is close, but it omits the word potential, which materially changes the meaning, so I cannot confirm it as a faithful verbatim quote. A UN record snippet reflects the same wording. ([foreignminister.gov.au](https://www.foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny-wong/speech/statement-un-security-council-open-debate))

The source_url (foreignminister.gov.au) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the quote was independently confirmed via web search of the speech and extensive corroborating coverage (Defence Connect, Cyber Daily, nuclear-news, AAP/regional papers). Penny Wong (Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs), in her Sept 2025 Statement to the UN Security Council Open Debate, said "AI's potential use in nuclear weapons and unmanned systems challenges the future of humanity" and "we must establish standards for the use of AI to demand it is safe, secure, responsible and ethical." The two [...] omissions ("potential"; "to demand it is safe, secure,") are faithful. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy," and Wong calls for standards for responsible/ethical military AI, so a "for" vote is appropriate. Year 2025 is recent.
