Verified. AFP-syndicated GMA News and CNA reports dated February 21-22, 2026 attribute the sentence in question to Stuart Russell, and the wording matches apart from the initial capitalization: those articles print the first word in lowercase because the quote appears mid-sentence. ([gmanetwork.com](https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/scitech/technology/977424/global-summit-calls-for-secure-trustworthy-and-robust-ai/story/)) UC Berkeley identifies him as Stuart J. Russell, so the author attribution is consistent. ([engineering.berkeley.edu](https://engineering.berkeley.edu/news/2023/05/stuart-russell-receives-acms-aaai-allen-newell-award/?utm_source=openai)) The specific FMT URL itself returned a 403 error for me, but another reliable source does contain the quote.

Verified via web search. Stuart Russell made this statement at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi (February 2026) speaking to AFP. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the AFP wire story is republished across many news outlets (Ashley County Ledger, Brazil Times, Iosco News, Sanford Herald, Branson Tri-Lakes News, etc.) all confirming the verbatim quote. The "for" vote on "Nations should negotiate a binding international treaty on AI safety, similar to nuclear non-proliferation" aligns directly with Russell's call for nations to "develop binding legal commitments" to protect peoples from AI risks. Year 2026 is current.
