ControlAI advocates for an international prohibition on the development of superintelligent AI
Nobel Prize winners, top AI experts, and even the CEOs of AI companies warn that superintelligent AI poses an extinction risk to humanity. In light of this, ControlAI advocates for a international prohibition on the development of superintelligent AI.
We do not support policies that do not deal with the extinction risk posed by superintelligence, such as AI data center moratoriums or the deregulation of AI development. The only way to avert this security risk is to ensure that it is not built by any actor, ranging from domestic AI companies, to foreign adversaries like China and non-state actors.
