“racing to build a technology that could end humanity”
Jaan Tallinn AI safety investor, co-founder of the Future of Life Institute ·
“Super Intelligence” is mainly a branding, diplomatic, and administrative-language transition, not a newly defined legal technology category. Companies should not assume that “SI” changes existing compliance duties tied to statutory or regulatory definitions of “AI.”
The material policy direction remains the pre-existing program: accelerate domestic deployment and infrastructure, strengthen national-security and cybersecurity use, export U.S. technology stacks, resist fragmented state or international governance, and use existing criminal/civil authorities rather than creating broad new AI-specific licensing rules.
