As their capabilities and degree of agency grow, we need to make sure we can rely on technical and societal guardrails to control them, including the ability to shut them down if needed.AI Verified source (2026)

Verified: the quoted sentence appears verbatim in the supplied Futurism article, which attributes it to Yoshua Bengio as something he said to The Guardian. A more reliable primary news source, The Guardian, also prints the exact wording in quotation marks and attributes it directly to Bengio. Note: the earliest source I found is dated December 30, 2025, so the quote itself appears to predate 2026 even though the supplied Futurism page was published on January 4, 2026.
