Safety before speed.Ask your MP about AI.
The largest AI companies are working to build machines smarter than any human. Nobody yet knows how to keep such machines under control, and the companies are pressing ahead anyway.
Ottawa has promised new laws as part of its AI strategy. Ask your Member of Parliament to make sure they deal with the most serious risks. The email is already written.
Email your MP. It takes two minutes.
We find your MP and draft the email for you. Edit it if you like, then send it from your own email account.

Why act now
In June 2026 the federal government launched AI for All, a national AI strategy that promises new legislation over the next five years. What goes into those laws is being decided now.
So far, most of the debate is about adoption and productivity. Very little of it is about what happens if companies manage to build systems smarter than us before anyone knows how to control them. MPs are far more likely to raise that if they hear it from the people they represent.
What the email asks for
- Open the books on the most powerful AI. Companies building the most advanced AI must publish how their models are trained and safety-tested, and submit to independent third-party audits.
- One safety bar, enforced. Binding, science-based safety standards every major developer must meet, enforced by an independent regulator, not voluntary codes. No company should win the race by cutting corners.
- Canadian leadership abroad. Work with other countries to keep watch over the most advanced AI projects, and push for an international agreement to stop the race toward uncontrollable superintelligence.
- Safety before scale. Public AI money should build safety research, security and oversight, not just bigger and more powerful models.
Canada helped build this technology. Its pioneers are sounding the alarm.
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”
Nobel laureate and University of Toronto professor emeritus. He left Google in 2023 so he could speak freely about AI risks, and has estimated a 10 to 20 percent chance that AI leads to human extinction within three decades.
Founder of Mila in Montréal and the most-cited computer scientist in the world. He chaired the International AI Safety Report and launched the non-profit LawZero to build AI that is safe by design.
Questions
Does one email really make a difference?
On its own, one email won't change a law. But MPs' offices pay attention to what people in their riding write and call about, and a personal message counts for more than a petition signature. When enough constituents raise the same issue, the MP notices, and right now the rules are still being written.
Isn't this science fiction?
The warnings come from the people closest to the technology: the scientists who made modern AI possible, and researchers working inside the companies that build it. Those companies say openly that superintelligence is their goal.
What if I don't know much about AI?
You don't need to be an expert. You are telling your MP that you live in the riding and that this worries you, which is exactly what their office wants to know. The draft covers the rest.
Why my MP, and not the Prime Minister or a senator?
Your MP is the one person in Parliament who answers directly to you, because they need the votes of people in your riding. Senators are appointed, and the Prime Minister's office hears from the whole country. A message from a constituent is harder to set aside.
Can I write or call in French?
Yes. MPs' offices work in both official languages. Switch this page to French (top right) to get the email and the call script in French.
Does this page collect my information?
No. No account, no cookie, and nothing you type is sent to us. We only count visits and emails sent, anonymously. To find your MP, your postal code or location goes to Represent (Open North), and addresses also go to Photon for suggestions. Your name stays in the email you send yourself.
