Quote attributed to Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, year 2026. The Hansard source URL returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote and attribution: it is from the House of Lords debate on Superintelligent AI on 29 January 2026, where Lord Hunt of Kings Heath called for "A moratorium and binding international regulation of ASI [as] frankly, our only hope, however hard it will be to agree. It will be even harder to enforce, but we have to do it; there is no choice." He moved the question on an international moratorium on superintelligent AI development. The quote supports halting superintelligence development, consistent with the "for" vote on "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached." Author attribution, year, relevancy, and vote direction all check out.
