Pause development of Artificial Superintelligence until safety is proven
The Issue
Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) is closer than most people realize — and humanity is not ready.
AI systems are already transforming our world, but the next step, superintelligent AI, could surpass human control. Unlike current tools, ASI would be capable of outthinking governments, corporations, and entire societies. If developed recklessly, it could destabilize economies, spread misinformation, and even threaten democracy itself.
The truth is simple: once ASI exists, there may be no way to contain it. Powerful companies are racing ahead without sufficient oversight, transparency, or safety testing. The risks aren’t science fiction — they are acknowledged by leading AI researchers worldwide.
We demand action.
A pause on the development of Artificial Superintelligence.
Strong safety standards and independent audits.
International cooperation to ensure AI serves humanity, not the other way around.
If we wait until ASI arrives, it will be too late. Now is the moment to act.
