ControlAI seeks $50M yearly to push governments toward banning superintelligent AI development

ControlAI, a nonprofit focused on AI extinction risk, announced it needs $50 million per year in funding to have roughly a 10% chance of achieving an international prohibition on superintelligent AI (ASI — AI systems far more capable than humans) within the next few years. The organization plans to lobby governments and educate the public about AI risks rather than build safety technology itself.
