Lord Martin Rees (@LordMartinRees) supports our campaign to regulate the most powerful AIs!

Lord Rees, co-founder of @CSERCambridge, who's served as the Astronomer Royal and President of the Royal Society, joins 100+ UK politicians who recognise the extinction risk posed by AI.

We have a new supporter!

Emily Darlington MP (@emily4MK) just backed our campaign for binding regulation on the most powerful AIs!

100+ UK politicians now recognise the risk of extinction posed by superintelligent AI, forming the world's first and largest coalition of its kind.

WATCH: The Lord Bishop of Hereford warns of a dehumanising conviction in parts of the AI industry.

He says AI presents "systemic and potentially catastrophic" risks, and that we need to collaborate with other nations to regulate AI at the point of development.

Is AI like a nuke?

ControlAI's Samuel Buteau explains how a concerning incident in Mythos's system card illustrates that it isn't really.

"It's like a nuclear weapon that sometimes goes off on its own, makes a bigger nuclear weapon, and tries to take over your government."

[Andrea Miotti @andreamiotti]

Great to discuss this with @KamaliMelbourne earlier on @SkyNews.

Companies won't slow themselves down. Anthropic is using recursive self-improvement to race to ASI, which they admit risks human extinction.

Governments must step in: ban the development of superintelligent AI.

[ControlAI @ControlAI]

"We don't let people try to build a bomb even if they don't know what they're doing."

ControlAI's Samuel Buteau tells Canadian MPs how we can actually ban superintelligence.

Not just foreseeable, but foreseen and called out.

We ran a campaign to get them out of the first ever AI Safety Summit. We won that one.

Yet most of the field kept licking the boot of the companies and here we are.

"It's heartening to see Canadian lawmakers taking this risk seriously and calling for an international prohibition on superintelligence."

Great to see

[Andrea Miotti @andreamiotti]

Remember when Dario called pausing AI "most extreme"?

"...we should just pause ... that extreme position doesn't make much sense to me either."

Anthropic now:
"We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development..."

[ControlAI @ControlAI]

Our new campaign has brought over 30 Canadian MPs and Senators together to call for an international prohibition on superintelligence.

It's been covered by top Canadian news outlets, and endorsed by AI godfather @geoffreyhinton!

Huge news: Nobel laureate and Godfather of AI @geoffreyhinton has endorsed our Canadian campaign to avert the extinction threat from superintelligence!

Our coalition of 30+ MPs & Senators demands action to prohibit the development of superintelligence & protect global security.

[Torchbearer Community @JoinTorchbearer]

A team of about 3 from @ControlAI cold-emailed the UK Parliament about AI extinction risk. At the time they had no contacts, insider help, or established organisation behind them.

16 months later: 125 cross-party signatories, two House of Lords debates, and a Commons amendment.

Nice article by Marie Woolf and @SeanSilcoff in the Globe and Mail on our new campaign!

30+ Canadian MPs and Senators are calling for an international prohibition on superintelligence.

AI godfather and Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton (@geoffreyhinton) is quoted:

"It is inspiring to see Canadian parliamentarians on both sides of the aisle directly confront the risk posed by superintelligence. This is one of the defining challenges of our era, and it will shape the life of every Canadian citizen. It's about time we address it."
