No gov.uk or AISI item dated 13 September to 13 October 2026 names Amodei's essay or the slowdown call or sets up a review on the pacing of frontier releases; the AI minister's 12 October release and speech cover cyber defences and pre-release model access without naming the call.
The market resolves on gov.uk and aisi.gov.uk, which publish No 10, ministerial and AI Security Institute releases on the day of announcement: YES if an item dated 13 September to 13 October 2026 names Amodei's essay, the slowdown call or its independent-evaluator proposal, or announces a new AISI review, testing arrangement or consultation on the pacing of frontier releases; an oral answer in the Commons, a minister's social media post, a grant to an existing scheme or a restatement of the Mythos 5.1 access position does not count. If neither site has published, BBC and Guardian reports of a published government statement settle it, and silence on all of them by 23:59 BST on 13 October resolves NO.
We found eight such calls since 2017. Each came from the head of a leading AI company and asked for a pause, a slowdown or new rules. For each one we checked whether the UK government gave a formal reply on gov.uk within 30 days: a statement or meeting note naming the call or its authors, or a new review, taskforce or consultation on the safety of advanced AI.
