The Pro-Human Declaration is gaining attention not only for its ideas but also for the unusual political coalition behind it. Figures from across the political spectrum—including Steve Bannon, Susan Rice, and former Joint Chiefs chairman Mike Mullen—have signed the document, highlighting growing concern over how powerful AI systems could reshape society.

Among its most notable proposals are mandatory safety testing before AI systems are released, legal accountability for developers, and a pause on building superintelligent systems until experts agree they can be deployed safely. Supporters say these measures would work similarly to how new medicines must be approved by regulators before reaching the public, ensuring that rapidly advancing AI technology remains aligned with human interests rather than operating without oversight.
