More than 65,000 people have signed the Statement on Superintelligence, released October 22. Signatories span many backgrounds and beliefs, including:
- Eight Nobel Laureates, along with scientists and AI experts such as Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russell, Geoffrey Hinton, and Andrew Yao.
- Business leaders including Steve Wozniak, Sir Richard Branson, and Andre Hoffman.
- AI company executives such as Emad Mostaque and Peng Zhang, alongside AI researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta.
- Artists like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Grimes, Kate Bush, Natasha Lyonne, and Sir Stephen Fry.
- Political/media figures including Glenn Beck, Steve Bannon, Susan Rice, Mike Mullen, Mary Robinson, and seven former U.S. Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle.
The short-and-sweet Statement calls for “a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is
- broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and
- strong public buy-in”
The Statement has had worldwide coverage, from the Associated Press, to Fox (below), CNBC, CBS, The Guardian, the Washington Post, and more.
