Join us to stand up for AI safety following the release of Yudkowsky & Soares' new book 'If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies'!
We are gathering in solidarity to raise awareness of the urgent dangers posed by unchecked AI development, inspired by Eliezer Yudkowsky & Soares' new book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, & in parallel with 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 / create binding regulation focusing on safety above profit. 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, as described in the book.
We hope you'll join us!
Even today's AI presents massive, global risks to humanity.
Current AI models have already proven they can autonomously reproduce, lie about being able to autonomously reproduce, create nerve gas, regurgitate copyrighted work, empower terrorists, default to price gouging, encourage children to commit suicide, deliver bombs, hire dark web hitmen, de-anonymize strangers, replace most human employment, & unpredictably launch nuclear weapons. And companies are racing to make them more capable at these tasks every single day.
Meanwhile, companies & governments are racing to fund AI capabilities & completely ignoring safety concerns., The Trump administration's Executive Order 14179 threatens to cut funding to states with AI regulation, & to assemble committees to slash federal regulation. Tech companies have spent $72 million in lobbying since January 2025, resulting in the infamous ten-year AI safety moratorium. This is while they spent $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. Corporations will not save us. Now is the time to demand safe, human-centered AI for all.
