🚨 AI could wipe us out and the UK isn’t ready 🚨
That’s why we want the government to act now:
• Pass a binding, enforceable AI-specific law covering all frontier AI risks closing regulatory gaps and keeping pace with rapid AI advances.
• Build an international alliance, like NATO, to coordinate global AI governance and security.
Why is this important?
AI is getting more powerful every month.
It could cure diseases, yes but it’s already destroying jobs, spreading lies, and could wipe out humanity if we lose control.
Experts like Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” have warned:
“It’s not inconceivable that humanity is wiped out by AI.”
Right now, the UK government is focused on small fixes like tackling online scams. That’s like putting a padlock on your garden shed while leaving the nuclear plant down the road with the doors wide open.
The truth? There are two urgent things we don’t have but desperately need:
1️⃣ A global AI safety body like NATO for AI, so every country follows the same strict rules, and no one races ahead with dangerous systems just to get ahead.
2️⃣ Strong, enforceable AI safety laws here in the U, so no AI system is released unless it passes tough safety tests, just like planes, cars, or medicines.
3️⃣ Create comprehensive laws not just to regulate AI technology itself, but also to govern how AI is used in society, ensuring responsible and ethical deployment across all sectors.
Without these, AI could:
Without these, AI could:
💣 Design deadly weapons faster than we can stop them
🗳 Manipulate elections and economies globally
⚡ Override human control permanently
🚨 Launch devastating world cyber attacks that could cripple infrastructure, economies, and lives.
🚨 Launch devastating world cyber attacks that could cripple infrastructure, economies, and lives.
AI is already causing harm today:
❌ Jobs disappearing without safety nets
❌ Disinformation flooding our feeds
❌ Tech giants hoarding power and data
❌ Privacy stripped away
We’ve made rules to keep planes in the air and food safe to eat.
So why are we letting the most powerful technology in history run without them?
Tell the UK government: work with the world, pass real AI safety laws, and protect people not just profits!
