ControlAI 2025 Impact Report

ControlAI, a non-profit organization dedicated to mitigating the extinction risks from superintelligence, has published its 2025 impact report detailing significant political traction. In just over a year, the group has briefed 279 lawmakers and over 90 US congressional offices. Their most concrete success is in the UK, where they built a coalition of 110+ lawmakers who now formally recognize superintelligence as a national security threat. This coalition has directly led to two debates on the topic in the UK House of Lords.

The organization's model involves direct, unfiltered briefings with policymakers, often introducing them to the concept of superintelligence risk for the first time. This approach has scaled rapidly; in Canada and Germany, they increased from briefing ~50 to over 100 lawmakers in just two months, despite minimal local staffing. Their work also prompted a series of hearings in the Canadian Parliament featuring testimonies from experts like Connor Leahy and Max Tegmark. Looking ahead, ControlAI plans to significantly expand its US efforts and establish a presence in all other G7 countries, aiming to accelerate the shift from raising awareness to securing concrete policy actions aimed at preventing superintelligence development.
