Enact Statutory Oversight and Mandatory Safeguards for Frontier AI Development

Enact Statutory Oversight and Mandatory Safeguards for Frontier AI Development — 8 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Call on the Government to introduce binding regulation, mandatory third-party safety audits, and strict statutory oversight for private corporations developing frontier and superintelligent AI systems.

Additional details

We think the rapid pace of frontier AI development poses severe risks to national security, public safety, and democratic stability. Industry whistleblowers warn that corporate competition drives firms to prioritise speed over safety. We believe leaving superintelligent AI in private hands without statutory oversight is as dangerous as privatising control of a nuclear arsenal. Voluntary commitments are insufficient; binding legal frameworks are urgently required.
