In the United Kingdom, we were invited to present a bill to the Prime Minister's office, which would effectively ban the development of superintelligence. This bill, as we can see in the U.K., has not yet passed. We are available to help any country pass such a bill, and we are available to advise any country. This is our main recommendation.
Also, what we have started doing in other countries, like Canada, as well as the U.S.A. and Germany, is just to brief lawmakers like you. We believe this is not only the biggest current challenge but also the biggest opportunity. I think most lawmakers are being kept in the dark about how big these risks are. Companies are spending millions of dollars to lobby, so that nobody talks about these risks. Both the public and the lawmakers—even though experts have been warning about this for years—are just being kept in the dark.
I think it's very important for lawmakers like you to learn where AI is going. Also, if you find it concerning, speak up, because your speaking up can make an enormous difference. It helps your colleagues look into the problem more, and if enough lawmakers start discussing this problem and start a genuine national conversation, we can get the ball rolling on getting genuine rules in place for this technology.
