Each of the CEOs of the main AI companies, I believe, wants to disarm [...]. For governments to allow private entities to essentially play Russian roulette with every human being on earth is, in my view, a total dereliction of duty.

The source_url (france24.com AFP wire article) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden to my fetcher, so I cannot directly read the page. However, I corroborated the quote via web search: it is accurately attributed to Stuart J. Russell, who made these remarks at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, Feb 2026. Fortune (2026-02-18), Cybernews, and Market Realist all report the exact lines "Each of the CEOs of the main AI companies, I believe, wants to disarm" and "For governments to allow private entities to essentially play Russian roulette with every human being on earth is, in my view, a total dereliction of duty." The vote "for" on statement 451 (governments/labs should build capability for a global slowdown of frontier AI) aligns with Russell's stated view. Year 2026 is correct. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the specific source_url blocks automated access; the quote itself is accurate and correctly attributed.
