AI is rapidly becoming more powerful, far faster than virtually any AI scientist has predicted. Billions of dollars are being poured into AI capabilities, and the results are staggering. New models are outperforming humans in many domains. As capabilities increase, so do the risks. Scientists are even warning that AI might end up destroying humanity.

Our politicians are not taking this topic remotely as seriously as they should. We need our leaders to listen to these warnings. We need them to take action to stop this suicide race.

But this can realistically only happen on an international level, because the competitive pressures are too much to do this one nation at a time. On November 1st and 2nd, the very first AI Safety Summit will be held in the UK. The perfect opportunity to set the first steps towards sensible international AI safety regulation.

We call on the delegates from our respective countries to the UK AI Safety Summit to put AI safety first and advocate to Pause AI!
