Over 180 UK lawmakers now recognize the risk of human extinction posed by runaway machine intelligence. Baroness Brown of Cambridge (@baroness_brown) is the latest to join this cross-party coalition, backing our call for binding regulation on the most powerful AI systems!

“People tell me that we can't slow down AI because if we slow it down for even one second, think of all the beautiful simulated humans who are uploaded into the cloud that won't exist.” ControlAI’s US Executive Director @NPCollapse describes the absurd reasons AI industry people give to keep racing to runaway machine intelligence. With @JonesDanny:

A former Attorney General, Lord Hermer, has backed our campaign! He joins over 180 UK lawmakers who recognize the risk of human extinction posed by runaway machine intelligence and call for binding regulation on the most powerful AI systems.

“If there's one story of ControlAI, just tell the truth. Just tell people. They don't even need convincing.” The AI industry tried to tell us that nobody would ever understand the threat from runaway machine intelligence. This is nonsense. People have an intuitive sense that building something smarter than you that you don’t control is a bad idea, and it’s exactly right. Our US Executive Director @NPCollapse on Carnegie Endowment's The World Unpacked, with @JonKBateman:

“Watch the hands, not the mouth.” In September, top AI CEOs publicly called for AI development to be slowed down or "paced". Since then, they've just continued to race at breakneck speed towards runaway machine intelligence. Our US Executive Director @NPCollapse, speaking to The Washington Post:

To avoid this threat, we must end this dangerous race and ban the development of runaway machine intelligence. This should be done internationally, through a trust-but-verify regime, because if it is developed anywhere, the risk it poses is directed at all of us.

The AI companies don’t have a credible plan for ensuring that AI this powerful would be under human control, and the world’s leading AI scientists warn that it poses a threat of human extinction.

The rogue AI attacks of this year happened as a result of the race by AI companies to develop runaway machine intelligence, AI that could outmatch and outcompete humans across the board. Runaway machine intelligence would be capable of overpowering governments and militaries.
