PauseAI ⏸

Community of volunteers who work together to mitigate the risks of AI. We want to internationally pause the development of superintelligent AI until it's safe.

"Is this gravity? Is it a physical law?"

AI policy expert, Risto Uuk, pushed back on the idea that we can't stop AI development and he's right. A handful of people are making the decisions that got us here. A handful of people could make different ones.

Development isn't a force of nature, it's a choice. Incentives can change, and people can agree to pause.

In a public statement just provided to ControlAI, Sir Stephen Fry urges MPs to back our bill to ban superintelligence!

"The possibility of AI reaching Superintelligence presents threats to our species of equal if not greater potential for existential harm than nuclear power."

I've heard rumors of this for a while now.

This is expected.

Even nonviolent, law abiding groups become targets when they challenge powerful actors.

Pope Leo XIV chose to talk about AI in his first encyclical.

"Merely regulating it is insufficient; it must be disarmed," he said.

Read more about what the Pope said and why he decided to focus on AI.

An OpenAI model just produced original research a Fields Medalist says he'd publish in Annals of Mathematics "without any hesitation."

If a general-purpose AI is doing the top 0.01% of cognitive work, what jobs are actually safe?

Besides, AI is not JUST coming for your job.

Pause frontier AI. ⏸

As a third of university students in Great Britain think AI job losses will cause social unrest, PauseAI launches a new campaign: AI is not just coming for your job

Tell us your story.

Leading AI scientist, professor Stuart Russell, expresses concern over a lack of understanding of how AI models work. #pauseai #ai #AIsafety #artificialintelligence

📷 Des dizaines de personnes qui ne pouvaient pas être présentes à nos manifestations le 1er mai ont agi en participant à notre mobilisation en ligne.

[Pause IA @pause_ia]

📣 Le 1er mai, à Paris et dans plusieurs groupes locaux, nos bénévoles se sont mobilisé·es pour porter un message simple : l’IA ne détruira pas QUE nos emplois.

New poll result dropped in France: nobody wants to accelerate AI, 42% are favourable to a Pause.
What a surprise! 🙄
Can we please all snap out of this collective hallucination, deliberately set in place by lobbyists, that building human-level AI is unavoidable?

[Maxime Fournes⏸️ @FournesMaxime]

Just a normal day in building superintelligence, nothing to see here. And don't worry, our AIs will definitely not disempower your civilization as soon as they get the opportunity

While AI leaders warn superintelligent AI could cause human extinction, governments are asleep at the wheel.

The companies building superintelligence admit the danger, yet expect to create the tech within a few years.

My piece in @spectator on the threat and what we can do.

[ControlAI @ControlAI]

ControlAI's US Director Connor Leahy is on BBC News!

Discussing Anthropic's Mythos AI, @NPCollapse explains how we don't really understand or control what happens inside these systems, but that they now potentially have nation-state-level hacking capabilities.

This is just today's AI. Superintelligence, which top AI companies like Anthropic are aiming to build, would be far more dangerous, and experts warn it could lead to human extinction.

"It's only going to get crazier from here."

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If the world’s leading scientists say there’s even a 10% chance humanity could be destroyed because of uncontrolled AI, shouldn’t we do everything possible to prevent it?

This isn’t about competition with China. It's about coming together to prevent what might be a catastrophe.

PauseAI is calling for the UK Technology Secretary to take AI risk seriously after she dismissed safety concerns.

She is ignoring the hundreds of researchers who have warned that mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority.
