This post highlights a few key excerpts from our full impact report. You can read the full report at https://controlai.com/impact-report-2025.

ControlAI is a non-profit organization working to avert the extinction risks posed by superintelligence. We help hundreds of thousands of people understand these risks and meet hundreds of lawmakers to inform them, without mincing words, about what is at stake.

In little more than a year, we briefed over 200 parliamentarians, built a coalition of 110+ UK lawmakers recognizing superintelligence as a national security threat, led to two debates in the UK House of Lords, and our work led to a series of hearings on AI risk and superintelligence at the Canadian Parliament.^[1]These hearings included testimonies from me (Andrea) and Samuel at ControlAI, Connor Leahy, Malo Bourgon (MIRI), Max Tegmark and Anthony Aguirre (FLI), David Krueger, and more.

The report covers results between December 2024 and January 2026. As of posting this in March 2026, we've now briefed 279 lawmakers and 90+ US congressional offices. In only the last 2 months, we've scaled in Canada and Germany from ~50 to 100+ lawmakers briefed, despite us only having one staffer in each country.

Moving forward, we plan to significantly expand our work in the US, accelerate our progress from awareness to policy action and establish a presence in all other G7 countries.

ControlAI's mission

Nobel Prize winners, top AI experts and even the CEOs of major AI companies have warned that superintelligence poses an extinction risk for humanity. Yet, most decision-makers and most of the public are still in the dark about these risks.

To avert these risks, we need to prevent the development of superintelligence. We tackle this problem in a direct and straightforward way: meet all relevant actors in the democratic process, inform them of the risks and the solutions, and ask them to take action on this issue, systematically and repeatedly.

We help hundreds of thousands of people understand the extinction risk posed by superintelligence, and to take civic action. We meet hundreds of lawmakers to inform them, without mincing words, about the risks of superintelligence. We help lawmakers speak out publicly and push for concrete measures to prevent superintelligence, nationally and internationally.
