Scores of UK parliamentarians join call to regulate most powerful AI systems

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : The push for tougher regulation is being coordinated by a nonprofit organisation called Control AI whose backers include the co-founder of Skype, Jaan Tallinn.
47% : More than 100 UK parliamentarians are calling on the government to introduce binding regulations on the most powerful AI systems as concern grows that ministers are moving too slowly to create safeguards in the face of lobbying from the technology industry.
44% : The Conservative peer and former environment minister Zac Goldsmith said that "even while very significant and senior figures in AI are blowing the whistle, governments are miles behind the AI companies and are leaving them to pursue its development with virtually no regulation".
41% : The calls for state intervention in the AI race come after one of Silicon Valley's leading AI scientists told the Guardian humanity would have to decide by 2030 whether to take the "ultimate risk" of letting AI systems train themselves to become more powerful.
22% : It is calling on Keir Starmer to show independence from Donald Trump's White House, which opposes the regulation of AI.
