Join PauseAI
This is our nuclear moment. Rapid AI advancement represents one of history’s most consequential and dangerous technological shifts. We demand that politicians and companies pause AGI development until international safety agreements are established. Join our global network standing for democratic oversight of AI.
PauseAI Global unites concerned citizens—scientists, parents, students, workers, and community leaders—who believe transformative technologies require public input before they progress beyond human control. Whether you can spare 5 minutes (sharing posts), an hour (flyering, writing letters), 5 hours (protests, meeting politicians) or 5 days weekly (strategy development), your voice matters. After signing up, join our onboarding session online or locally to learn about current actions.
After signing up
