On the record
12 Oct 2026 · Statement · LBC
Liberal Democrats are calling for an immediate pause on the development of superintelligent AI, so we can develop a nuclear-style non-proliferation treaty, alongside establishing a UK-headquartered global safety agency. The Government must act now.

The third and fourth sentences of the same statement, consecutive paragraphs on the page and carried here as one quotation: the fourth is five words long and carries no claim on its own. The same page reports that her party said the Government had "failed to rise to the occasion" as the United Kingdom faces a "dangerous crossroads" over the trajectory of AI; those are the party's words and not a person's, and are no part of this register.

Britain has a chance to step up to use our unique position to take a leading role to get world leaders around the table to co-ordinate on safety and co-operation.

The first of four consecutive sentences of a statement issued as her party called for an immediate pause on the development of superintelligence. The date is the source's: the page gives no date for the statement itself, so the day carried here is the day the page was published. A Press Association copy; her party's own release would be the primary.
