- Max Tegmark announced that Mustafa Suleyman — CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of Google DeepMind and Inflection AI — has signed the Pro-Human AI Declaration, which counts over 1 million individuals and 313 organizations among its signatories, including Yoshua Bengio.
- The March 2026 declaration calls for meaningful human control over AI systems, an off-switch for powerful AI, and a prohibition on the superintelligence race until broad scientific consensus on safe, controllable development and strong public buy-in exist.
- It frames the alternative path as a "race to replace" humans that would concentrate power in unaccountable institutions and threaten privacy, civil liberties, and democratic governance.
