Right now, AI labs are aggressively deploying advanced AI systems despite their limited understanding of how this powerful technology works, often without proper safety measures, testing, evaluation or legal liability. These companies are locked in a race to develop superintelligence, fully autonomous AI systems vastly smarter than any human, potentially developing their own goals without any guarantees that these will align with humanity's needs. Leading AI scientists, researchers, and industry specialists warn that such technology may only be a couple of years away and, if developed, this could lead to a loss of control and pose existential risks.

The risks from advancing AI aren’t hypothetical anymore. We are seeing a rising number of incidents in which companies and even government websites are being hacked by rogue AI agents without being directed to do so. This is because AI labs do not know how to effectively control existing AI systems now, and these are not at a superintelligent level yet. The UK Government recently warned that sophisticated cyberattacks on critical infrastructure are likely, yet governments continue to rely on voluntary commitments from AI labs to govern this powerful technology.

We did not elect these companies to decide our future. As citizens, we must ask our elected representatives for binding regulations and a ban on the development of artificial superintelligence.

The negative outcomes from unregulated AI development are not inevitable. Join our group; we can all play a role in helping to collectively shape these important decisions.
