Frequently asked questions

Does contacting my government make a difference?

Your message puts public support for prohibiting superintelligence directly to the offices responsible for government action. It asks them to take a position and gives you a basis for following up. One email does not decide policy, but it tells those offices this is something the public wants them to act on.

What am I asking the government to do?

Work towards an international prohibition on the development of superintelligence, backed by effective monitoring and enforcement. Leading AI experts warn that developing superintelligence poses a risk of human extinction.

Who will receive my message?

In the United States, the message goes to the President and Vice President. In the United Kingdom, you can email the Minister for Artificial Intelligence, the Home Secretary and the Defence Secretary separately. You see the recipients before sending.

Can I change the message before sending?

Yes. You can review, edit and sign the draft. Preparing it does not send anything. You choose when to submit it or open each email.

Why do you need my personal details?

Your name and address identify you to the office receiving your message. US contact forms also require a title, first and last name, email and phone. We ask for these when you sign, after you have reviewed the draft. We also collect your email so ControlAI can stay in touch.

Who sends the message?

In the United States, ControlAI submits your approved message to the President and Vice President. In the United Kingdom, each minister has a separate email: we open it in your email app and you press send there. UK emails copy ControlAI so we can follow the campaign correspondence.
