That's a great question.
If you are a lawmaker, I believe the biggest thing you can do right now is speak out about the risks. Again, the more lawmakers speak out about the risks, the more your colleagues will look into them and learn about them, and then coalitions can start forming. If you have influence or a relevant position in the government, you can recommend what the government should do.
I believe the government could start discussing with other international partners the first steps of how we start getting an international agreement in place that bans superintelligence. Domestically, I believe Canada can immediately move to introduce legislation to ban superintelligence on its soil. I think this would be the biggest starting point for all of the other actions.
In summary, speaking about the problem is the first step. The more people speak, the more we can actually make progress. Ban it on Canadian soil first. Set the example and protect Canadian citizens at home. Internationally, speak with like-minded partners and start the process for an international agreement.
Thank you.
