The ongoing, unchecked, out-of-control race to develop increasingly powerful AI systems puts humanity at risk. These threats are potentially catastrophic, including rampant unemployment, bioterrorism, widespread disinformation, nuclear war, and many more. We urgently need lawmakers to step in and ensure a safety-first approach with proper oversight, standards and enforcement. These are not only critical to protecting human lives and wellbeing, they are essential to safeguarding innovation and ensuring that everyone can access the incredible potential benefits of AI going forward. We must not let a handful of tech corporations jeopardise humanity’s shared future.

We must take control of AI before it controls us. Regulate AI now.
