What We Do

Since November 2024, we have focused on systematically briefing UK lawmakers about extinction risk from superintelligent AI. We have briefed over 180 parliamentarians and the Prime Minister’s office. You can learn more about our experience speaking to parliamentarians here.

Our campaign on preventing extinction risk from AI is supported by over 180 UK lawmakers

Our Work in Westminster

In September 2026, ControlAI’s Artificial Superintelligence Security Bill was introduced in the House of Commons as a Ten-Minute Rule Bill. With cross-party backing, it is the first bill in any legislature in the world to address the security and extinction risk posed by superintelligent AI. More than 85 parliamentarians from both Houses have called on the Prime Minister to evaluate and adopt it.

Alongside a domestic ban on superintelligent AI, the Bill sets an international policy for the UK to pursue an international agreement to prevent the development of superintelligent AI worldwide.

We have also advised on amendments, including last-resort, or “kill switch”, powers that would enable the Government direct the shutdown of UK data centres or models during AI-related emergencies.

"… The possibility of AI reaching Superintelligence presents threats to our species of equal if not greater potential for existential harm than nuclear power … By introducing ControlAI's Bill as a Private Member's Bill, MPs would allow Britain to lead the way in keeping this technology safe."
