Global SETI Protocol Refresh: Stricter Verification, Broad Consultation, and Expanded Technosignature Scope

To the point

An international ratification led by Professor Michael Garrett updates the rules for evaluating and publicly sharing evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, requiring extraordinary evidence and independent verification, broad international consultation before any disclosure, expanding technosignature detection across the electromagnetic spectrum, and stronger protections for researchers against harassment and misinformation, with supporters like Bill Diamond welcoming the move.

Beyond Disclosure Day

An international update ratified to refine how evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is evaluated and announced, led by Professor Michael Garrett, reinforces the core principle that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, addresses today’s social media environment, AI-generated misinformation, and 24-hour news cycles, expands the scope to technosignatures across the electromagnetic spectrum and other emerging detection methods, strengthens protections for researchers against harassment and misinformation, preserves the No Reply policy requiring broad international consultation including the United Nations before any response to a signal, creates a permanent Post-Detection Sub-Committee to address legal, ethical, and societal implications, and will be presented to the global scientific community at the International Astronautical Congress in Türkiye later this year, with leaders such as Bill Diamond welcoming the move.
