Most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months. [...] We're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks.

Quote attributed to Mustafa Suleyman (Microsoft AI CEO) about tasks being "fully automated" within "12 to 18 months." Web search confirms this from a Financial Times interview in Feb 2026, widely covered by Fortune, Yahoo Finance, AfroTech, Futurism. Vote "against" is correctly aligned -- Suleyman predicts near-total automation of white-collar tasks, implying massive job destruction. Year 2026 is current. Quote is relevant to statement 389.
