Frontier AI models already show signs of self-preservation in experimental settings today, and eventually giving them rights would mean we're not allowed to shut them down.AI Verified source (2026)

Quote confirmed verbatim from Yoshua Bengio's interview reported by startupnews.fyi (Jan 1, 2026), AI CERTs News, Futurism, DNyuz, and Hardware Busters. Bengio explicitly warns against AI personhood and emphasizes the need to be able to shut down AIs that show self-preservation behaviors. startupnews.fyi URL returned 403 but content extensively corroborated. Vote 'for' requiring kill switches in datacenters aligns directly with his position that humans must be able to shut down AI systems. Year 2026 matches.
