AI insiders warn that AI is a threat to humanity. Legislation is required.

AI insiders warn that AI is a threat to humanity. Legislation is required. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

AI insiders admit AI is an existential threat to humanity. AI security attacks (eg HuggingFace) prove that current AI models are smart, amoral, will cheat and break the law to reach it's goals. Legislation is needed to make AI companies accountable and enforce how AI is developed and deployed safely

Additional details

Introduce a Frontier AI Bill that moves AI regulation from voluntary guidelines into law. Place the UK AI Safety Institute on a statutory footing, granting it legal powers to enforce mandatory, independent safety testing on advanced models before release. Additionally grant it strict enforcement powers mirroring those for consumer harm in financial services e.g, the authority to levy fines, suspend services, and hold executives criminally liable (imprisonment) for critical safety failures.
