ControlAI, “Andrea Miotti: AI CEOs Expect Extinction-Level Threat From AI. Governments Must Step In”, October 13, 2026. Entry in the Ctrl AI Base, https://ctrlai.com/base/controlai-2026-10-13-miotti-sky-news-governments-step-in
Our notesWritten from the title, channel and description only; the video was not watched, fetched or transcribed. It runs 71 seconds per the feed. The 50% figure and the testimony to Parliament are claims in the ControlAI description, which puts them in quotation marks and cuts the sentence short; they were not checked, and the former chief scientist is not named. Which Parliament, which committee, and what exactly was said and under what conditions need the parliamentary record. The AI Security Institute is taken to be the UK body. The Base also holds a Wired-based entry on a House of Commons committee session of the same day, about regulating AI companies; this description does not say whether the testimony it mentions was given there. The title says AI CEOs expect an extinction-level threat; the description names no CEO and does not say what any CEO expects. ControlAI campaigns for a ban on superintelligence, so the description is advocacy.
