Global pause on superintelligent AI

Motion Text

That this House expresses concern about the rapid acceleration toward superintelligent AI; notes that while AI presents transformative opportunities for economic growth and medical breakthroughs, uncontrolled frontier systems pose severe risks to national security; calls on the Government to convene an emergency Global AI Safety Summit in the UK to broker a global treaty pressing pause on the development of superintelligent AI, advocate for the creation of an international AI safety agency modelled on the International Atomic Energy Agency, and to deliver the long-promised AI Bill from the 2024 King’s Speech; and further calls for a commitment from the Government that if a rogue AI agent targets UK Government departments or public services, it will take immediate steps to secure the extradition of the CEO of that company, so that justice can be served.
