The Lord Bishop of Hereford votes For

Pausing AI at human-genius level to solve alignment is safer than either racing to superintelligence or halting entirely

Until such time as these virtues can be woven into machines, with the protections to shut them down safely, an international moratorium is the only safe way forward, and I would urge His Majesty’s Government to pursue it.
