"We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in."
"many leading AI companies have the stated goal of building superintelligence in the coming decade that can significantly outperform all humans on essentially all cognitive tasks. This has raised concerns, ranging from human economic obsolescence and disempowerment, losses of freedom, civil liberties, dignity, and control, to national security risks and even potential human extinction."
"the future of AI should serve humanity, not replace it. I believe the true test of progress will be not how fast we move, but how wisely we steer. There is no second chance."
Leading public figures across computer science, economics, the arts, evangelical Christianity, and conservative media have united to demand a prohibition on developing AI superintelligence unless stringent conditions are met. The call targets major technology companies racing to build AI that could outperform humans on essentially all cognitive tasks, and insists on broad scientific consensus, demonstrable safety and controllability, and strong public buy-in before development continues. Signatories warn of risks including economic obsolescence, disempowerment, erosion of freedoms and civil liberties, national security threats, and potential human extinction. Several signatories emphasized that AI must serve humanity rather than replace it.
