A route from campaign advocacy to proposed legislation
Alex Sobel
Alex Sobel is a UK MP who appears as a ControlAI campaign supporter and a participant in proposed AI legislation. The research also records historical Fabian executive service in 2011–2012. These are separate political, campaigning and organisational relationships.
What the parliamentary record supports
He sponsored Commons NC12 in June 2026, which was marked “Not called.” A September 2026 schedule listed a ten-minute-rule motion to seek leave for an artificial-superintelligence bill. The retained schedule did not establish the final introduced text or passage. ControlAI’s supporter listing identifies a public alignment without specifying every proposal he endorsed.

From the investigation
What would change this assessment
Targeted searches covered ControlAI, FLI, CAIS, Lightcone, Frame Fellowship, People First, Tegmark, Coxon, Leahy, Bilyeu, Sobel, Sanders and pacing. The null institutional findings are bounded by indexing and direct X/LinkedIn access limits. They are not proof that no private relationship exists.

Targeted UK follow-up recovered official schedule pages for Sobel's September8 motion, not its outcome. The Hansard and bills open routes failed; a separate official schedule search did not supply the missing outcome. Preserve scheduled stage. Do not rerun identical failed routes or call introduction established.
