Stop the race.Call Congress about AI.
AI companies around the world are racing to build superintelligent AI they don’t know how to control. Lawmakers from both parties and experts recognize the danger. Now we need Congress to act.
Please call your representatives and let them know that you are concerned and want action on AI.

Lawmakers and AI company employees are sounding the alarm
“Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”
“We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade.”
“We have to put some guardrails, some safety measures in place to ensure that AI doesn’t run away, that we don’t have an out-of-control AGI, artificial general intelligence.”
3:11“We need guardrails. But America needs to lead.”
0:34“But this wild race makes for the perfect conditions for it to get completely out of control.”
0:31“I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
0:25“It’s time to shut the whole thing down until we can figure out what the hell is going on.”
“…when Americans hand extraordinary power to a machine, a human needs to stay in charge of it.”
“Innovation and guardrails are not opposites—both are necessary to stay ahead of our adversaries.”
“If we are smart enough to create such powerful AI, then we are smart enough to regulate it.”
“I’ve been at OpenAI for 5 years. I think AI might kill everyone, and we need to slow down.”
4:21“The problem is not just misuse, but lack of control.”
0:26“The end of all human life, that’s pretty personal.”
0:26“I can’t see a path that guarantees safety.”
0:27“They will have their own agency, their own goals, which may not be aligned with ours. What happens to us then?”
“But, right now, we have the position of strength, and we certainly should be engaging in talks with China.”
“Doing nothing on AI is unacceptable and dangerous.”
“The industry is locked into an all-out scaling race to build superintelligence as quickly as possible.”
“I work at OpenAI. In my personal capacity, I also think we need to slow down.”
0:18“But this is not inevitable. We are still in control in 2026. And it’s our decision what to do now.”
0:15“Machines that are so much more competent than we are that the slightest divergence between their goals and our own could destroy us.”
0:29“They are telling us explicitly on the record … if they succeed, the chance of human extinction is somewhere between 10% and 50%.”
0:25“If you could understand and predict superintelligence, you would be superintelligent.”
“Even if there was a 1% chance AI could wipe out human life, we should be pumping the brakes to make sure we have the proper safeguards in place, not racing blindly into disaster.”
“The reality is that the Big Tech approach of ‘build fast and break things’ is not the right one for AI, and Washington needs to wake up and take this seriously.”
“Many AI developer staff desperately want to slow down to figure out how to build AI more safely.”
“I promise you that we are actually literally worried about world-ending consequences from this technology.”
“Being first isn’t worth anything, it’s worth negative, if you cause a catastrophe.”
“This is not a problem that can be solved by any one company (or country) in isolation.”
“It’s a cross-partisan position within misalignment teams across all frontier AI companies that business-as-usual AI development poses unacceptable catastrophic risk.”
“Neither Anthropic nor OpenAI are on track to solve alignment to a degree sufficient for shipping superintelligence, and we need to slow down.”
