Andrea Miotti, founder and CEO of ControlAI, warns that the AI industry's rapid development of superintelligence poses an extinction risk to humanity, a concern echoed by leading AI scientists and company CEOs. ControlAI advocates for a global prohibition on superintelligent AI, informing governments and the public. In January 2026, ControlAI supported two UK House of Lords debates on this threat, gaining backing from over 100 cross-party UK parliamentarians for an international moratorium.
In Canada, ControlAI briefed over 100 lawmakers; over 30 MPs and Senators now call for an international agreement prohibiting superintelligence. Miotti defines superintelligent AI as systems vastly exceeding human cognitive capabilities, operating beyond human oversight, and capable of undermining national security, making it an existential threat. He stresses current AI systems are unpredictable and uncontrollable, with no known method to control superintelligence, even without malicious intent. Miotti urges national governments to prohibit superintelligence development domestically and champion an international agreement, treating it akin to nuclear proliferation. Policymakers must publicly recognize superintelligence as an extinction risk and initiate negotiations for a global ban.
