AI safety campaign calls for global ban on superintelligence and recursive self-improvement
marcvanderchijs · x · 2026-11-15
The aisafetyaction campaign is publicly calling for an immediate global ban on superintelligent AI and recursive self-improvement. Its argument: frontier AI labs are racing to build alien superintelligences that humanity neither deeply understands nor reliably controls, and if these reckless companies aren't stopped now, human extinction could come as soon as 2027. A classic extinction-risk advocacy push worth watching for its signatories and spread.
