History

Historical Context

In 2017 the Future of Life Institute hosted the Asilomar conference that issued 23 AI Principles, later signed by 1,797 researchers and 3,923 others, including Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis. This effort followed FLI’s 2014 MIT panel and preceded the 2026 Pro-Human AI Declaration, illustrating a recurring push for voluntary safeguards that critics such as Mustafa Suleyman say still lack enforceable oversight.
