Full ban on use of AI applications in the United Kingdom

Closed 146 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government impose a full ban on use of the Artificial Intelligence in all industries such as Defence, Education, Entertainment etc.
To stop use of any Artificial Intelligence application already in use by some organisations and products, such as AI-powered search engines or AI voice-controlled virtual assistant.

We are concerned about the risks of AI, including potentially irreversible consequences for the United Kingdom economy and its stability. The breach of the ban should result in a fine at least 50% global value of the organisation and minimum 25 years imprisonment for the organisation owner or/and its decision makers.
