Senator Sanders says he's very worried about the risk that superintelligent AI could escape human control, potentially leading to human extinction.

ControlAI advisor Connor Leahy: If you tried to build a bomb, you'd go to jail. But AI companies are trying to build superintelligence, while publicly stating that it could cause human extinction. This kind of decision should be made by governments, not companies.

Ex-OpenAI board member Helen Toner tells senators that AI companies are "deadly serious" about building machines that will outperform humans at everything ... and deadly serious that they don't know if they'll be able to control them.

"Every single person I talked to who worked in politics said, Oh, that's impossible. Don't even try." ControlAI advisor Connor Leahy on the success of our UK campaign. Over 100 UK politicians now acknowledge the risk of extinction posed by superintelligent AI.

Anthropic cofounder Jack Clark says there are plausible scenarios where AI "could kill every single person on the planet." "It is a technology that is smarter and more capable than most of us as individuals today, and will soon be more capable than all of us collectively."

Geoffrey Irving, the UK AI Security Institute's Chief Scientist, says AI companies' plan to control superintelligence by having AIs do safety research is flawed and we can't have a lot of confidence in it working. Irving previously led safety teams at OpenAI and Google DeepMind.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says superintelligence may be built in just a couple of years, and we obviously urgently need regulation, as we have for other powerful technologies. He says the world may need an IAEA for AI. OpenAI has lobbied against AI regulation in the US and the EU.

In a Canadian Senate study on AI, Senator Todd Lewis asks ControlAI's US Director Connor Leahy whether AIs can police AIs. Connor says there are no adequate measures towards ensuring superintelligence would be controllable.

"If you build things that are smarter than you and you don't control them, that seems like a really dangerous situation to be in." On Mukesh Bansal's SparX podcast, ControlAI US Director Connor Leahy explains why we shouldn't allow superintelligence to be built.

California Governor Gavin Newsom says how fast AI is advancing is alarming, and even more so when you talk to the people building it.
