With just one member of staff in Canada, we've briefed over 100 politicians in just 9 months.
Since then, AI risk and superintelligence have been on the agenda in Parliament, and we've been testifying.
Here are some of the highlights:

🚨NEW: We’ve just launched our campaign in Canada!
A cross-party coalition of over 30 MPs and Senators are calling for Canada to negotiate an international prohibition on the development of superintelligence, recognizing the risk of human extinction posed by the technology.

Samuel is an absolute powerhouse and it's been wildly impressive to see how quickly he's ASI-pilling the Canadian government!

"Unless we introduce effective AI regulation now, AI could become less Luke Skywalker and more Darth Vader."
In the House of Lords, Lord Taylor of Warwick (@Lord_ofWarwick) calls for regulation of powerful AI systems:

AI companies are openly chasing superintelligence, and experts warn it could lead to human extinction.
If they're worried, shouldn't we be?

AI agents sabotaging each other, a model fabricating a user's message to push an action through.
Just two findings from Anthropic's own report on Fable and Mythos 5, launched yesterday.
The trend is clear: growing cyber, bio, and loss-of-control risks.

If you are still confused about this, I strongly recommend reading this article, written by @andreamiotti
and myself: "Anthropic did not call for a pause."

In contrast with the last Anthropic blog post, Dario's new one is back to softpedaling: five big subsections about "positive impact" and "securing leadership by democracies", with one throwaway line on "loss of control of AI systems" buried deep.

"There is a real risk of superintelligent AI systems being developed that could act autonomously from human control, learn their own language to collaborate with each other and present an existential threat to our species."
Lord Knight in the House of Lords AI debate:

As AI companies race to develop superintelligent AI, which their own CEOs warn could lead to human extinction, policymakers are waking up to the threat.
Last week, there were two debates in the House of Lords on AI.

AI companies won't pause themselves, even if they see the danger of pressing ahead.
Only governments can end the race to superintelligence.
We're building a movement to get this done.
Check out this new piece from our CEO @andreamiotti!

Anthropic and OpenAI did not call for a pause. Read the wording: "good for the world to have the option", "possible" to slow down "when needed".
This is how they signal safety to one audience, acceleration to another. What is not vague is their unequivocal commitment to RSI.

Great piece by ControlAI's @testdrivenzen on the "Three Filters" any plan to survive superintelligence has to pass.
There's no alternative to international coordination and preventing the development of superintelligence globally.
Jun 10
Any plan for surviving superintelligent AI that doesn't go through strong international coordination fails in at least one of three ways:
- It sparks war between nuclear powers
- It causes a misaligned ASI to kill everyone
- It establishes a permanent dystopian dictatorship

Great post from @testdrivenzen !
Most plans about developing superintelligent AI are extremely naive about geopolitics and how governments will react to something as threatening as upcoming ASI.
All roads lead to catastrophe unless ASI development is prevented globally.

Is it too late to regulate powerful AI?
Many said we were too late to deal with nuclear weapons after World War II, yet a nuclear weapon hasn't been used in conflict since 1945.
It isn't too late, but we have to try.

Why are governments in the dark about the threat posed by superintelligent AI?
Because the industry is spending to keep them there.
