Regulation is clearly coming. It's just a matter of when.
AI companies are racing to build superintelligence. Ordinary people are racing to get their governments to stop them.

At the beginning of 2025, the best AI models could complete tasks that take humans about 41 minutes.
Just 12 months later, that figure is almost at 5 hours!
We don't know how long we have until a model surpasses human capability entirely.
It could be soon.
