[The kill switch] helps in cases where the government has reason to believe super-intelligent AI, AI that can autonomously compromise national security, is being developed on UK soil. [...] The UK is not truly sovereign on AI if it can't pull the plu... more Unverified source (2026)

There's not one big magic red button that blows up the data centre, which I think some people sort of assume exists. Verified source (2026)

If a government AI kill switch already existed, would the current DOD or current administration have used it, or the threat of it, against Anthropic? Could they use it to coerce AI companies into behaviors that are counter to the public interest? Unverified source (2026)

Congress has a moral obligation to stand with the American people and stop the expansion of these data centers until we have a framework to adequately address the existential harm AI poses to our society. Unverified source (2026)

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 Unite... more AI Verified source (2026)

I think over time we would need to figure out global frameworks. AI Verified source (2023)

The question that people are debating is whether it makes sense to regulate research and development of AI. And I don't think it does. Unverified source (2023)

The direction of AI is currently determined by a small group of companies [...] We are seeing the construction of an oligarchy that responds solely to its own interests. The governance of artificial intelligence should be in the hands of the people, ... more AI Verified source (2026)

AI incident reporting requirements are emerging in regulation and policy, yet no operational criteria exist for determining when a detected AI incident warrants escalation beyond national handling to international coordination. [...] For escalation t... more AI Verified source (2026)

AI chatbots can be powerful tools for learning, but right now, millions of children are using them with no guardrails and no guarantee of safety. As a mother, I believe it is our obligation to create a future for our children where AI is safe by desi... more AI Verified source (2026)

Competition, innovation, and speech options will be limited as a result of these moves. Unverified source (2026)

At some point we will have super-intelligent machines. But we think that the best way to actually have many possible futures — good futures — is to keep humans in the loop. AI Verified source (2026)

The immediate danger is not that machines will act without human oversight; it is that human overseers have no idea what the machines are actually "thinking." State-of-the-art AI systems are essentially "black boxes." We know the inputs and outputs, ... more Unverified source (2026)

I now see a path to actually avoid loss of control, at least unintended loss of control. With the work that I've been doing, I'm really convinced that there is a path. And it is not something that's going to take a decade; it is something that is ver... more AI Verified source (2026)

The fact that things look aligned most of the time when they're functioning in their chatbot, or very limited 'Assistant' roles, is very little evidence that they will be adequately aligned when they work much more independently and have much greater... more AI Verified source (2026)

My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it: 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously. [...] What I'm looking at ... more AI Verified source (2026)

Until some company or scientist says ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences. We can get most of the benefits w... more AI Verified source (2024)

For the last-invention story to hold, people would have to become unnecessary even as partners or supervisors to AIs. [...] We would need a world where practical know-how is fully transferable through digital channels and where responsibility can be ... more Unverified source (2026)

Industry leaders like Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and OpenAI—a strategic cohort that has been responsibly transparent and repeatedly explicit about the compounding AI crisis of control—must form a coalition of the willing to lead their ind... more Unverified source (2026)

A [central] problem with regulating frontier AI models is that a new feature emerges in these systems that is not tested, testable. [...] As long as you have this new emergent power, you have deep reasoning, deep capabilities, and they will make mist... more Unverified source (2026)

You can't have accountability without transparency. Black box models are not transparent, and they don't mix well with human oversight. Either the human blindly trusts the model—or doesn't trust it at all. Unverified source (2026)

[...] principles requiring that AI be explicable are misguided. We should be deciding which decisions require explanations. Automation is still an option; AI Verified source (2019)

I would like to see a CERN for AI [...] where all the top scientists come together and see whether they can make a super intelligence. And, if they can, they contain it into a system where it can't just go out and persuade people to let it run the wo... more Unverified source (2026)

To mitigate the “race to God-like AI,” Ian Hogarth—chair of the U.K. AI Safety Institute—proposed an “Island model,” in which a joint international lab performs research on superintelligence in a highly secure facility. An essential part of this pro... more AI Verified source (2024)

So the the prototypical situation I'm imagining here is you know there's a kind of one ai project, which is you know somewhat ahead of the others, and maybe it it goes through intelligence explosion, whereas which by which I mean kind of AI can autom... more AI Verified source (2025)

The biggest problem is that not only do they have nondisclosure agreements, they also have a mandatory arbitration clause, which means disputes never see the light of day. Unverified source (2026)

Many people working in AI feel like they're living within a lie. Privately, they know that the current reckless pursuit of superintelligent AI poses an extinction threat to our species, but publicly they keep quiet so as to not rock the boat and risk... more Unverified source (2026)

Computer scientists often aren't good judges of the social and political implications of technology. They are so focused on the AI's mechanisms and are overwhelmed by its success, but they are not very good at placing it into a social and historical ... more Unverified source (2026)

In December, the Trump administration signed an executive order that neutered states' ability to regulate AI by ordering his administration to both sue and withhold funds from states that try to do so. [...] By preempting state oversight, the federal... more Unverified source (2026)

I'm disappointed [the Big Beautiful Bill] didn't include a proposed moratorium on U.S. state-level AI regulation. While there is a role for AI regulation, it is when the technology is new and poorly understood that lobbyists are most likely to succee... more Unverified source (2026)
