Future of Life Institute — campaign: Superintelligence Prohibition Statement (October 2025): calls for prohibition on superintelligence development until 'broad scientific consensus on safety'; 69,000+ signatories including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Steve Wozniak
Future of Life Institute (FLI) record
The claim makes multiple assertions: (a) FLI's campaign name and date (October 2025) — unverifiable from source; (b) the prohibition call and safety consensus language — confirmed by source text; (c) 69,000+ signatories — confirmed (source shows 69,817); (d) specific named signatories (Hinton, Bengio, Wozniak) — NOT addressed in the provided source excerpt. The source text does not list individual signatories, so while the signature count and core statement language are confirmed, the claim about specific high-profile signatories cannot be verified from this excerpt alone. This is a partial confirmation because key elements are verified but the notable signatories claim is unverifiable from the given source.
