Policy created, against policy put into action
- 47
- Have created policy
- signed, backed or drafted something we track
- 1
- Have put it into action
- at least one of those rules now actually applies
46 of the 47 countries that created policy have none of it working yet. That space is what this site tracks.
- Policy put into actionAt least one rule we track is now in force for this country, so it actually applies. Read from an official source.
- Policy created, not in action yetThis country has signed, endorsed or drafted something we track, and none of it is binding yet. That is the ordinary state of most AI governance right now, ratification and implementation take years, and it is the distance this site exists to show.
- Not on the lists we checkedWe read the full lists of who took part in the things we track, and this country was not on them. That is a statement about those documents on the date we read them. It is not a view about what the country is doing, and a country can be doing a great deal at home without appearing on any of them.
- Researched, waiting to be checkedResearch exists in the database but nobody has checked it against the source yet, so none of it appears on the public pages.
- We have not established anythingNo complete list we hold covers this country, so we have established nothing either way. That is a gap in our work and says nothing at all about what the country has or has not done.
Every country here has an answer behind it, and a source. A pale country is one we checked against complete participant lists and did not find, a fact about those documents on the date we read them, not a view about that country. Nothing here is a score or a ranking. Equal-area projection, so no country appears larger than it is.

And everywhere else
- 148 checked, not on the lists
- We read 7 complete participant lists in full, and these countries were not on them. That is a fact about those documents on the day we read them. A country can be doing a great deal at home without appearing on any of them.
- 0 we have not established
- No complete list we hold covers them. That is a gap in our work, and it says nothing at all about what those countries are doing.

What each label means
- Policy put into action
- At least one rule we track is now in force for this country, so it actually applies. Read from an official source.
- Policy created, not in action yet
- This country has signed, endorsed or drafted something we track, and none of it is binding yet. That is the ordinary state of most AI governance right now, ratification and implementation take years, and it is the distance this site exists to show.
- Not on the lists we checked
- We read the full lists of who took part in the things we track, and this country was not on them. That is a statement about those documents on the date we read them. It is not a view about what the country is doing, and a country can be doing a great deal at home without appearing on any of them.
- Researched, waiting to be checked
- Research exists in the database but nobody has checked it against the source yet, so none of it appears on the public pages.
- We have not established anything
- No complete list we hold covers this country, so we have established nothing either way. That is a gap in our work and says nothing at all about what the country has or has not done.
The Accord
This is the whole thing.
No policy document to open. No technical thresholds to endorse. Four paragraphs.
We call on governments to ensure that increasingly powerful artificial intelligence is developed and deployed with appropriate safeguards. We also ask them to work toward making its benefits accessible to people in every nation.
We ask nations to establish effective AI safety oversight, cooperate internationally, and work toward common safeguards for advanced AI systems.
Decisions about risks that could profoundly affect society should not be left solely to the organisations developing the technology. People, communities and countries deserve a meaningful voice in shaping their future.
We call on elected representatives, scientific institutions, technology companies and international organisations to work together toward transparent and accountable AI governance, so that humanity keeps meaningful control over increasingly capable systems.
What you are not signing
Signing does not mean any of the following:
- that you are an AI expert
- that you endorse any specific technical regulation
- that you support a pause on AI development
- that you support a ban on any particular kind of AI
- that you support any political party
- that you agree with every position taken by any AI-safety organisation
Detailed AI law should be written by elected governments and qualified experts, not by a website. What the public can legitimately express is whether they want their governments to take this seriously and work together on it.

Signatures over time
Not enough history yet
We record one figure per day. The trend appears here once there are at least two days of history, we will not draw a line through a single point.
Other appeals
People have been raising this for years.
The Accord builds on existing warnings and public appeals. It does not claim ownership of them, and it does not count their supporters as its own.
These are not Accord signatures, and they are not added together. Each initiative asks for something different, and one person may have signed several. There is no number here that represents unique people across all of them, so we do not print one. Every figure is what that organisation displayed on the date shown.
Center for AI Safety
Statement on AI Extinction Risk
700+ researchers and public figures · as shown on September 13, 2026
A single-sentence statement signed by many of the researchers and executives who built modern AI, including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Demis Hassabis, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei. Its purpose is to make it easier to say publicly that severe AI risks are worth taking seriously.
Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.
Curated rather than open: the form asks for title and affiliation, and listing is editorial. The unit of value is who signed, not how many. Their separate Take Action tool contacts federal and state representatives and is US-only.
Future of Life Institute
The Pro-Human AI Declaration
134,015 signatories · as shown on September 13, 2026
The largest public AI-safety declaration currently open for signature. It argues that AI should amplify human potential and protect dignity and liberty, rather than replace people and concentrate power in unaccountable institutions.
A broad coalition demands AI serve humanity, not the reverse.
Largest genuine public count in this field.
Future of Life Institute
Statement on Superintelligence
31,810 signatories · as shown on September 13, 2026
Calls for superintelligence development to be prohibited until two conditions are met: broad scientific consensus that it can be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in.
A prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in.
Why now
The gap between capability and control is what matters.
- Autonomy in practice
- One developer reports that an attacker turned its coding tool into the operator of an intrusion campaign, performing most of it without human intervention.
- Our record for this
- Cyber capability
- Disclosures of high and critical severity vulnerabilities by notable organisations reached about 2,500 in a single month in 2026, around five times the previous record.
- Notable organizations disclosed ~2,500 high- and critical-severity CVEs in July 2026, about 5x the pre-Mythos monthly record.
- Read the source
- Luke Emberson (2026), "Serious cyber vulnerability disclosures kept climbing in July". Published online at epoch.ai, used under CC BY.
- The rate is rising
- Measured capability has been improving faster in the last two years than in the two before them.
- The best score on the Epoch Capabilities Index grew almost twice as fast over the last two years as it did over the two years before that.
- Read the source
- Yafah Edelman and Jaeho Lee (2025), "AI capabilities progress has sped up". Published online at epoch.ai, used under CC BY.
- AI-assisted AI research
- Researchers interviewed about their own field expect AI to speed up AI research itself, particularly coding and debugging. That is an expectation, not a measurement.
- AI could speed up AI R&D, especially in coding and debugging.
- Read the source
- David Owen (2024), "Interviewing AI researchers on automation of AI R&D". Published online at epoch.ai, used under CC BY.
- Everyday reach
- The share of US adults using AI almost every day more than doubled in six months, which is how quickly these systems are reaching ordinary decisions.
- The share of US adults using AI at least 6 days a week rose from 8% in March 2026 to 19% in August 2026, according to Epoch AI/Ipsos polling.

- The governance gap
- Capability is built and sold globally. Of the countries we monitor, most have no AI rule in force at all, and the count is on this page.
- Our record for this
The appeal
We are asking governments to act.
Every nation should have a credible public body responsible for advanced AI safety. Where no adequate body exists, governments should establish or designate one. Those bodies should then work together across borders.
We are not asking every country to build the same bureaucracy. We are asking every country to make sure someone is clearly responsible, and that the detailed rules are written by legitimate governments and qualified experts, not by this website.

Does your country have anyone responsible for AI safety?
We are building a source-linked record of which countries have a credible body responsible for advanced AI safety, and which are participating in international coordination.
This dataset is not published yet. Spec rule, and ours: a country status is only shown once a reviewer has recorded an authoritative source for it. We will not publish illustrative numbers to make the page look complete. How this will be researched.
