Those who can influence National Legislators

Unregulated future AI is likely to be a disaster, warns experts around the world. There are three kinds of AI: narrow, general, and super. Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) including generative AI (or GenAI) is narrow, pre-trained tool that exists today and will continue to improve over the coming years. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) does not exist yet, but is expected to act more like an agent than a simple tool, and can re-write its own code, create novel solutions to novel problems similar to humans (sometimes called human-level AI) and can learn moment by moment to continually get smarter.
AGI could emerge within this decade. Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) sometimes called Artificial Superintelligence emerges from AGI to set is own goals independent from human control.
Some progress on ANI governance:

US-lead UN General Assembly Resolution on AI addresses ANI, not AGI
China-Lead UN General Assembly Resolution on AI addresses ANI not AGI
The EU AI Act and China’s Artificial Intelligence Law address ANI, not AGI
Bletchley Declaration signed by 28 governments addresses ANI, not AGI
European Council Convention on AI addresses ANI not AGI

What is needed now?

Draft national legislation to authorize a national AGI licensing system
Include support for a national computer simulation to test and prove AGI's safety as part of the licensing procedures. In the US that could be NIST to prepare simulations to test the safety of AGI prior to licensing.
Support a special UN General Assembly session on AGI

As The Millennium Project Phase 2 AGI https://millennium-project.org/ report states, "Governing AGI could be the most complex, difficult management problem humanity has ever faced." Furthermore, failure to solve it before proceeding to create AGI systems would be a fatal mistake for human civilization. No entity has the right to make that mistake.
