Source URL returned 403, but the quote substance is confirmed via web search. Stuart Russell is well-documented saying virtually identical statements: "if someone can type a command, press 'return,' and wipe out a million people, that's a weapon of mass destruction." Russell is the world's most prominent academic advocate for banning lethal autonomous weapons (created the "Slaughterbots" video, IJCAI open letter). The "for" vote on "Ban autonomous lethal weapons" perfectly aligns with his publicly stated position. Year 2026 is current.
