AI Expert and Professor
When you're taking over all cognitive functions—the ability to answer a question, to make a decision, to make a plan... you are turning someone into less than a human being.

Source URL on benzinga.com returns 403 to WebFetch. However, web search explicitly confirms the exact quote text appears in multiple syndicated news outlets (Benzinga, Sahm Capital, Finviz, AOL, Yahoo) reporting on Stuart Russell's remarks at the India AI Impact Summit in February 2026. Author attribution is solid (Russell is the well-known Berkeley AI safety researcher). Vote "against" on "Build artificial general intelligence" aligns with the quote and Russell's documented long-standing concern about super-intelligent AI systems and human disempowerment. Verified based on strong cross-source confirmation.
