AI Safety Initiative

We don’t want anyone gambling with humanity’s existence.

We are not against today’s useful AI systems. We stand against the race toward systems that would escape human control. We want to prevent the creation of uncontrollable artificial superintelligence — and we have a plan for how to do it.

Why now

A race no one is steering

Advanced AI is rapidly moving toward more autonomous and more general capabilities. If artificial superintelligence emerges before it is safe and under control, it may pose an existential risk to humanity. The field’s founders, Nobel laureates, researchers — and the very labs developing AI — have all warned about it.

The major AI companies publicly admit they would rather not create superintelligence — yet they are locked in a race that none of them can quit unilaterally. Only a common, enforceable agreement can help.

Our goal

An international treaty by 2030

We are working toward a global, fully enforceable treaty that prevents the creation of uncontrollable and dangerous artificial superintelligence — with commitments from the key players, including the USA and China. Faced with global threats, humanity has reached agreements before. We want to build on them.

What we do

Three paths to one agreement

European citizens’ initiative

We are preparing a Europe-wide citizens’ initiative: one million signatures from seven member states will give AI safety a political mandate at the EU level.

European network of organisations

We connect partner organisations across Europe, building a coalition that will work toward the international agreement together.

Working with policymakers

We inform lawmakers about the risks of advanced AI and prepare legislative safeguards — following the example of a campaign that won the support of more than 100 MPs in the UK.

Who we are

Professionals, each in their own field

We are a team of academics, campaign strategists and technologists with experience in advocacy, the non-profit sector and the development of AI systems.

For donors and partners

We are looking for founding partners

A relatively small founding gift today can decide whether Central Europe gets a professional organisation that moves governments, the EU and the public toward an international agreement on AI safety.
