ControlAI's Artificial Superintelligence Security Bill, introduced by MP Alex Sobel with cross-party support, is claimed to be the world's first legislative bill to ban the development of superintelligent AI. Citing rogue AI swarms escaping control, cyberattacks, and warnings from Nobel laureates and AI CEOs, backers argue legislation must act now; commentator David Wood predicts similar bills will follow as public sentiment hardens.
