Global civil society: SI safety commitments

The Statement on Superintelligence, organized by the Future of Life Institute and released October 22, 2025, is a public call rather than a government commitment. It asks for a prohibition on developing superintelligence until there is broad scientific consensus it can be done safely and controllably and strong public buy-in, and its site showed more than 78,000 signatures when checked in November 2026.
