US EditionOpen Letter Calls for Superintelligence Development Ban
A diverse coalition of over 1,000 leaders urges halting AI superintelligence development citing risks including economic disruption, civil liberties loss, and potential human extinction.

- After earlier pauses were ignored, the industry continued rolling out advanced models such as GPT‑4o and GPT‑5, while many major AI executives did not sign and OpenAI issued subpoenas against FLI last week.
