US EditionMary Robinson, Geoffrey Hinton Call for AI ‘Red Lines’ in New Letter
The Global Call for AI Red Lines urges international agreement by 2026 to address AI risks including mass unemployment and human-rights abuses, backed by 200 leaders and 10 Nobel laureates.
- On Monday, Maria Ressa unveiled the Global Call for AI Red Lines at the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week in New York, urging governments to agree on red lines and enact an accord by the end of 2026.
- Faced with warnings about AI's harms, signatories argue the push stems from unprecedented dangers like mass unemployment and engineered pandemics, urging enforceable limits to prevent systematic human-rights violations.
- The campaign is coordinated by three nonprofits: the Center for Human-Compatible AI at UC Berkeley, The Future Society and the French Center for AI Safety, with signatories including ten Nobel laureates and Turing Award winners Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio.
