UK Lawmakers Urge Burnham to Back Ban on Superintelligent AI After Chilling Warnings

More than 70 British lawmakers, including former ministers and senior figures from several parties, are urging Prime Minister Andy Burnham to support legislation banning the creation of artificial superintelligence. Labour MP Alex Sobel introduced the bill after AI researchers warned that systems could evade human control and pose catastrophic risks. Supporters want Britain to lead negotiations for an international agreement, using its upcoming G20 presidency. The government says it is considering targeted measures but does not endorse the proposed ban.
