UK Parliament Committee Recommends Prohibiting Development of Superintelligent AI
birchlse · x · 2026-09-14
- A UK Parliament Joint Committee on Human Rights report recommends an AI Bill that prohibits the development and provision of very powerful AI systems (AGI and ASI), citing risks of widespread and serious harm including the capacity to evade effective human control.
- The committee's written evidence came from ControlAI CEO Andrea Miotti and Shaun Egan (@sjgadler), a former OpenAI researcher who co-led dangerous capability evaluations, arguing top experts warn of severe risks including human extinction and that voluntary AI company commitments are insufficient.
