AI has been forced upon the general population without informed consent. It is like a parasite that has entered every aspect of our social, educational, political, and even our familial landscape. It robs us of our humanity, our creativity, our jobs, and may even cause human extinction. Like any parasite, it cannot be accommodated or tolerated. It must be eliminated. Here is a partial list of the negative impacts that AI has already had in a wide range of areas: Military (including taking humans out of the lethal decisions and autonomous weapons that fuel genocide) Oppressive surveillance (encourages fascism and moves us towards a police state) Environmental damage Educational degradation Loss of Critical Thinking Skills Loss of social skills Copy right infringement Employment (loss of jobs) Existential risk of ASI Loss of purpose (without meaningful, creative, productive outlets, we lose meaning in life) Reinforcement of bigotry (the bias of the creators is built into these systems) Loss of human control over supply chain Deep fakes Use for human manipulation Negative psychological effects (encouraging isolation, loneliness, false hope, and even suicide) AI psychosis Privacy Widening social-economic inequality Rendering human beings obsolete Cyber attacks Used by governments to violate freedoms and rights AI being otherwise a tool of subjugation and a threat to the human species
In your opinion, are there any cross-cutting or emerging issues not captured by the listed themes above? If so, please explain.
The possibility of human extinction in the near term is real and urgent if frontier AI models (Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence) are permitted to be pursued. All research and support of these need to stop now. Additionally, the themes listed above do not capture these serious problems of AI: Gradual disempowerment Loss of human control Loss of purpose These systems are being forced upon us without any informed consent.
How are the governance gaps and related developments/advances in the thematic areas you selected above affecting your country, region, or sector? Please highlight the most significant challenges.
The people of the world are not being informed or educated on the influence, control, and reach of AI. The people of the world are not being informed or educated on what these systems are currently doing and how they work (or don't work.) The people of the world are not aware of the fact that many of the CEOs of the major AI companies are transhumanists, support a racist vision of eugenics, and are seeking to control the world. There needs to be global citizens' oversite panels that are not just made up of experts, but of everyday people of the world. Currently the US government is trying to completely deregulate AI whereas the opposite needs to occur. Although many of the downsides of AI are becoming more and more apparent, very few are aware of the existential risk to humanity that even the CEOs of these companies acknowledge.
What are some of the existing initiatives, partnerships, or mechanisms that the AI Dialogue should build upon or connect with, and what added value could the AI Dialogue bring?
AI Dialogue should have no tolerance for elevating AI systems to the status of "species" and no tolerance for the idea that AI should replace humanity. The role of AI Dialogue is to empower the people of the earth to form a Global Convention—with elected delegates of the people from every nation—to propose a comprehensive, legally-binding, and enforceable global treaty on AI, to permanently ban the continued development of frontier AI systems.
How can different stakeholders contribute to the AI Dialogue? Please share recommendations for the format and structure of the AI Dialogue.
It is an unfathomable affront to humanity that AI has been unleashed by a handful of billionaires and their tech companies without consent or consideration of the citizens of this planet. This life altering technology must ve controlled by the people of this planet
Which voices, communities, or perspectives are currently underrepresented in global discussions on AI governance? How could they be included?
Everyone except a handful of power-hungry billionaires. The perspectives of the vast majority of the humans on this planet are under represented.
Please share examples of policies, practices, platforms, or approaches that promote effective AI governance or offer concrete solutions to addressing its challenges.

The only effective AI governance is governance that does the following: Bans all frontier AI models Keeps all existing AI under strict human control Prohibits and prevents any AI system from causing harm or violating freedom and rights Ensures the enforcement of the above with strict and immediate legal consequences
