Cross-partisan coalition calls to ban superintelligence ahead of DC march
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-09-22
- A call is circulating for a mass "March to Stop Superintelligence" in Washington, DC, urging a global prohibition on developing superintelligent AI until safety consensus and public buy-in exist.
- The underlying Statement on Superintelligence spans an unusual cross-partisan coalition: UK MP Alex Sobel, Senator Bernie Sanders, Turing laureate Yoshua Bengio, Neil deGrasse Tyson, ex-OpenAI governance researcher Daniel Kokotajlo, plus right-wing figures like Steve Bannon and Glenn Beck.
- Positions range from "unsafe, immoral and unnecessary — ban it outright" to treaty-based mutual agreement that no one builds it.
