Worker voice belongs at the center of how AI gets implemented.

If we keep barreling forward, we risk a lot… up to human extinction.

So when people predict a high degree of existential risk from AGI, I don’t actually think “arguing back” on their chosen terms is the correct response. Radical agnosticism is the correct response, where all specific scenarios are pretty unlikely. Non...

The real challenge isn’t stopping an AI apocalypse — it’s crafting smart, sector-specific policies that keep technology aligned with human values. To avoid being a victim of AI, humans can, and should, put up focused guardrails.

Documentation and institutional transparency mechanisms, together with information-sharing practices, facilitate external scrutiny and support efforts to manage risks associated with general-purpose AI.

Rather than creating entirely new channels, policymakers should focus on ensuring that existing channels can effectively incorporate information related to frontier models and agents. Building on trusted relationships will be faster and more effectiv...

Generative AI can be used to create highly realistic content that is difficult or impossible to distinguish from authentic material, including deepfakes. We are not interested in being deceived, and we are not interested in our children being deceive...

A media environment with more false and deceptive information is not a good thing for our society, but it is not the government's job to fix it. [...] Let's trust the American people, not the government, to decide for themselves how AI should be used...

The chart below shows the weekly ADP employment data, and there is zero evidence of job losses because of AI. [...] cheaper technology is creating more demand and more jobs.

We’ve looked and, honestly, we haven’t seen it. [...] It doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen in the future, but not yet.

AI is therefore replacing existing workers, while simultaneously shutting them out from moving to other industries.

Human oversight is essential to achieving an AI deployment that works as expected.

Agentic AI requires a different model, one where leadership defines direction, systems enforce boundaries, and accountability is explicit.

High-impact or high-risk decisions can sometimes demand human involvement. Introducing a human-in-the-loop layer ensures that critical actions are properly reviewed and validated.

Hence, under the overarching ambit of the National AI Council and together with tripartite partners, we are studying the use of AI tools by businesses and its impact on employment, before deciding the most appropriate approach for Singapore.

The requirement of human review is one of the most burdensome compliance elements for employers, particularly in comparison to states that allow alternative processes rather than human review.

Decisions involving the use of force, escalation, or nuclear command-and-control must remain subject to meaningful human control and accountable command.

The Government strongly believes that there is a need to maintain meaningful human control of all weapons systems, including any systems that may be developed. Our position is that, for such systems to comply with international humanitarian law, cont...

Closing it requires redesigning Army doctrine, organizations, and training to integrate LAWS into targeting under lawful human-on-the-loop control.

Let's work together to build this technology safely and responsibly!

The question that the noble Lord posed was: do we therefore go for a moratorium? That would be highly desirable, but I do not think that it will be possible in the short term.

What is needed is not to slow innovation but to harness it — to channel AI’s momentum toward outcomes that reinforce trust, safety and societal well-being.

Some forms of AI surveillance must be banned altogether, including highly invasive spyware.

The use of live facial recognition in our public spaces is an extraordinary expansion of state power that currently exists in a legal vacuum. We are not Luddites on these Benches; we recognise the utility of technology, but we must ensure that live f...

Prohibited practices shall include AI-enabled social scoring, indiscriminate biometric mass surveillance in public spaces without lawful authorization, and manipulative or deceptive AI systems that exploit vulnerabilities of individuals or groups.

Reforming the tax code to put the value of labor for business on a more level playing field with that of invested capital [is] an additional lever for “building pro-worker AI.”

Policymakers should not focus on slowing the development of AI through an AI compute tax; they should focus on helping workers transition to a labor force increasingly augmented by AI.

GOLD EAGLE, established in President Trump’s June 2, 2026 Executive Order “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security” (EO 14409), represents a new operational model for cyber defense. This new model will leverage frontier AI ...

When AI researchers warn of extinction and tech leaders build doomsday bunkers, prudence demands we listen. Superintelligence without proper safeguards could be the ultimate expression of human hubris—power without moral restraint.

Because the point of AI safety is not to slow the future down. It is to make sure the future remains human, aligned with our values, and advancing our interests.

We believe that in order to [avert extinction risks posed by superintelligent AI], we must secure an international prohibition on its development.

A one-size-fits-all approach to AI governance will not be effective. We all face different risks, priorities, levels of digital development, and regulatory environments. Effective governance requires shared principles that can be implemented flexibly...

There are a lot of potentially good outcomes from AI. I think the most likely outcomes are good. But the risk of bad and even catastrophic outcomes is high enough to be worth taking seriously. We should actively build safety mechanisms in case we nee...

Throwing more words and GPUs into the word-guessing program won't make it sentient. [...] one of our mares gives birth to a locomotive.
