On the threat of extinction from superintelligent AI, Steven Bartlett asks Roman Yampolskiy "do you think people should be protesting?".

We cannot rely on voluntary commitments to make sure AI is developed safely.

Add your name to our statement calling on governments to implement what polling shows the public already want – a global pause on frontier AI development.

Luc Julia's claim to be a co-creator of Siri has recently been refuted by former colleagues. This, and an accusation of fabricating studies to downplay the capabilities of AI, has called his influence on French AI policy into question. www.youtube.com/watch?v=05nY...

AI researchers don't really know why their models work. They don't know how to reliably control them or make sure they do what we want.

Alongside the public, we support a pause on frontier AI development. In a recent survey, experts generally agreed a moratorium on creating "digital minds" (which would likely a require a pause on frontier AI development) would be good.

Top figures from the West and China are calling for "urgent" global cooperation to make sure AI remains under human control.

Sometimes, things do happen.

Dawn Butler MP, vice-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on AI, on the extinction risk posed by the technology.

We already struggle to understand the inner workings of frontier AI models. Now, one of our best techniques is under threat.

58% of people agree that "if we build AI models smarter than us, we will inevitably lose control over them". Just 12% disagree.

AI companies are racing to create smarter-than-human AI, yet not a single one of them scores above D in "existential safety planning".

74% support giving the UK AI Security Institute regulatory powers.
