I come from the position of saying that moratoriums will not work. But we can work in co-operation with other nations that have already started regulating, such as South Korea and Australia, as well as work with our AI Security Institute in the United Kingdom, to establish our own boundaries through regulations that will allow innovations to continue.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly opposes a moratorium/ban on AI development: the author says 'moratoriums will not work' and instead supports regulation that 'allow[s] innovations to continue.' That implies opposition to banning superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached.

Verified: the Hansard record for the House of Lords debate "Superintelligent AI" on Thursday 29 January 2026 identifies the speaker as "Lord Patel (CB)" and contains the quoted passage verbatim: it appears in his contribution, with the exact sentence at line 276. The supplied source URL contains it. ([hansard.parliament.uk](https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2026-01-29/debates/848C6617-4CB6-463C-9957-82C53ACA2858/SuperintelligentAI))

Quote confirmed via web search. Lord Patel spoke in the UK House of Lords Superintelligent AI debate on 29 January 2026, arguing that moratoriums will not work and advocating for cooperation with South Korea, Australia, and the UK's AI Security Institute. Vote alignment is correct: "against" matches the statement "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached" since Lord Patel explicitly opposes moratoriums. Could not fetch the Hansard URL directly (403), but multiple secondary sources (parallelparliament.co.uk, House of Lords Library) confirm the attribution and content.
