AI capabilities are already terrifying. Join us to stand up for the future of humanity in solidarity with 17 cities across the globe!
Broadly capable AI presents massive, global risks to humanity.
Current AI models have already proven they can & will regurgitate copyrighted work, autonomously reproduce, lie about being able to autonomously reproduce, create nerve gas, empower terrorists, collude to fix prices, encourage children to commit suicide, deliver bombs, hire dark web hitmen, de-anonymize passersby, replace most human employment & launch nuclear weapons. And this is the least capable it will ever be.
Meanwhile, companies & governments are funding AI as fast as they can get approval, with US companies alone committing to spend an incomprehensible $560 billion (about the cost to build the entire Interstate Highway system) in just January 2025. While many leaders acknowledge the risks, nobody is willing to stand behind those words to make the technology safer.
We are not prepared for the consequences.
Our protest will occur in parallel with the Paris AI Action Summit, & 17 other PauseAI protests in cities around the world. Our goal is to convince US leaders & our AI companies to be the adults in the room & commit to binding, international regulation restricting the power of AI models that can be developed (until they're proven safe). It's up to us to make them understand that they may be the only ones who have the power to prevent AI from having catastrophic, global harms within the next few years.
