Since 2023, PauseAI has built the world's only global grassroots movement for a pause on frontier AI development: an organised presence in more than 15 countries, with thousands of supporters and volunteers. The total budget for all of it was under $600k. That's about $200k a year, less than one AI engineer's salary, or one month of running a single McDonald's. On that, we've organised the largest AI safety protest to date, held conferences at the European Parliament, the French senate, a debate at the UK parliament, and run campaigns coordinated across 12 national chapters. Why does this matter? Because there's a gap at the heart of AI policy. Researchers and policy experts have made the case for taking catastrophic AI risk seriously. But policymakers still don't act, because no organised public is asking them to. At our European Parliament conference, an MEP told us plainly: she agreed, but could not move without public support. Closing that gap is what we do. We organise the constituency that makes good AI policy politically possible. We believe this is the most neglected, highest value-for-money intervention available in AI safety today. Here is our full case (link in comment).

Politicians are listening, but they need pressure to act. 🏛️ MEP Lóránt Vincze just said it directly: civil society is essential in the AI governance fight. Raising the issues politicians won't touch first. Pushing for frameworks before there's political will to back them. Showing up when it's inconvenient. That's the work. And it's why we're here. #PauseAI #AIGovernance #CivilSociety #AIPolicy #EuropeanParliament

AI is not just coming for your job. This PauseAI campaign has brought together hundreds of concerned citizens across the globe, building a movement to implement a pause in the development of frontier AI systems. If you are worried about the impact of AI, join us.

AI has mastered the power of persuasion. Are we really ready for machines to impose their intelligence on us?
AI is now superhuman in persuasion. Everything is fine.
Mythos has broken into the the US defence department's classified systems. Is it time to consider a pause?
Head of NSA reports that Anthropic's Mythos broke into all of their classified systems in hours. This should alarm anyone paying attention. AI labs are racing toward superintelligence, and the pace is only accelerating. Six months from now, there will likely be systems that make

The people building the technology are asking the world to trust that they will figure out safety on the way. We would not accept this from any other industry. We should not accept it now.

A moratorium is a framework, not a ban. And according to MEP Saskia Bricmont, the political momentum for one is already here. What's missing is organised civil society pressure to match the lobbying muscle of big tech. The White House is actively lobbying against AI safeguards in Europe. Who's lobbying for them? We are. Will you join us? #PauseAI #AIMoratorium #BigTech #EUAIAct #AIActivism
With the speed of AI development, job loss is only the beginning of the iceberg. Photo credit to the respondent.
Read our take and write to your representative: pauseai.substack.com/p/the-us-gover…
A government banning one AI export is not a pause on AI. The US forced Anthropic's newest model off the market this week. But it's a block on selling one model abroad, not a stop on building more powerful ones. The rules are opaque, and the race continues out of sight. Real safety means a binding international treaty that pauses frontier development, agreed by every major lab and government. The G7 is meeting in France this week. That's an opening.
Frustration, anger, and anxiety are just some of the words to describe how people feel about AI development. PauseAI has created a space for those who have experienced negative externalities of AI to voice their concerns.
