About this Event

Now is the Time for Action!


The US must lead the way on regulations to ban unsafe superhuman AI!

Humanity stands at a crossroads. Unless we work together, reckless development of artificial intelligence (AI) could endanger us all. A handful of companies are racing to be first to build superintelligent AI – systems vastly more powerful than human beings. Meanwhile, leading AI scientists and whistleblowers warn that these systems could escape our control and cause the end of human civilization.

But this is not inevitable. We can make the wise choice. Rival nations have worked together in the past to reduce nuclear arsenals, restrict chemical and biological weapons, reject human cloning, and save the ozone layer. We must do the same now for superintelligent AI.

Join PauseAI at our US Capitol Day of Action. As our volunteers from across the country meet with their representatives, we will gather before the Capitol Building to demand regulations on unsafe, superintelligent AI.


Event Photos

We will be gathering on the West Front Law of the US Capitol Building, on Monday, April 13th, 4-6 PM. This demonstration will be fully permitted by the US Capitol Police; it will be a peaceful, lawful, and respectful call for Congress to protect their constituents.


Join us, and make your voice heard. Help us ban unsafe AI!
