The quote clearly opposes the statement: it calls for a permanent ban on developing AGI and machine superintelligence, which is incompatible with mandating a CERN for AI to build safe superintelligence.

The quote calls for "permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence," which clearly opposes mandating any effort to build superintelligence.

The quote is authentic. An AOL-hosted NewsNation report on Reichstadter’s bridge protest reproduces this sentence verbatim and attributes it to Guido Reichstadter: “I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence.” ([aol.com](https://www.aol.com/news/protestor-speaks-live-atop-washington-031914477.html?utm_source=openai)) A separate Common Dreams report independently attributes the same statement to him, though it spells the last phrase as “machine super intelligence” (two words), which suggests a minor transcription/style variant across outlets rather than a misattribution.

Source URL returned 403, but web search confirmed Guido Reichstadter's quote and protest. Multiple WUSA9, Yahoo News, and NewsNation reports verify his bridge protest where he called on governments to "take immediate action by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence." Vote "for" the statement "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached" directly aligns with his call for a permanent ban. Year 2026 is current.
