PauseAI US ⏸️

@AlexAlarga @ilex_ulmus PauseCon DC is happening in April! Anyone can join the demonstration at the Capitol on 4/13: luma.com/jogj70dj?tk=pq…

Don’t miss @ilex_ulmus podcast with #aiandyou – part 2 just dropped! The podcast covers a lot of ground, including why pausing frontier AI is both effective and necessary, and the lessons we can learn from common-sense regulation in other industries. aiandyou.net/e/298-guest-ho…

It’s hard to recognize an exponential curve when you’re in one. Think back to February 2020. At the time, there were only a few hundred COVID cases. Epidemiologists were freaking out, but most politicians were blind to the risks. After all, what’s the worst that could happen from a few hundred cases? A month later, the world was in chaos. Life was normal, until it suddenly wasn’t. Nothing magical happened, just cold, hard exponential growth. But most people were taken by surprise. We aren’t used to dealing with exponentials in daily life. Over the last few years, AI systems have gone from being able to operate autonomously for a few seconds, to several hours. AIs are already writing much of the code at frontier companies, further accelerating AI development. A feedback loop of AIs improving AIs could be imminent. Think back to how you felt when you saw those first COVID cases on the news. Did you predict what was about to happen? There are only two ways to react to an exponential: too early, or too late. This post is a wake-up call. Join PauseAI US before it’s too late.

@pauseaius @ilex_ulmus Thanks. US needs to organise those more often. We all do.

We’re sending our solidarity from the United States ✊⏸️

What gives PauseAI US Founder Holly Elmore (@ilex_ulmus) hope: "[T]here's also a lot of wonderful stuff that rises up in the human spirit from a situation like this and we are getting to enjoy it. And that's the energy I really want to embody with PauseAI US."

The race for superintelligence threatens humanity – An interview with Holly Elmore, Director of Pause AI USA | NDS Holly Elmore, founder and director of @pauseaius , is one of the most prominent voices in a growing international movement warning against an uncontrolled race toward artificial superintelligence. Her intervention comes at a time when governments and corporations between Washington and Beijing are declaring artificial intelligence (AI) to be a key geopolitical technology—while systematically treating security issues as secondary. The interview was conducted by Michael Holmes. Deutsche Übersetzung nachzulesen auf den NachDenkSeiten.

A pause on new data centers in the US would be a big step toward the ultimate prize: an int’l pause on frontier AI development. The AI cos need data centers to keep scaling up. Rallying to achieve this form of hardware control makes our coalition stronger shows what we can do.

“The path we are currently on leads to disaster.” Pull The Plug and @PauseAI organised a march last week visiting offices of artificial intelligence tech companies in London, to launch a campaign to regulate and slow-down an industry out of control.

If AI was a drug

Lord Hunt reminds us: an international agreement on AI is possible We've already created many treaties to stop existential threats to humanity Even during turbulent international conditions During the Cold War we made treaties on nuclear and chemical weapons with >98% adoption

A true story that hasn't happened yet

PauseAI US volunteers are coming from across the country to PauseCon DC to talk to their reps and level up their organizing back home. Your donation🫵 can help volunteers like Jack and Cathryn be able to attend and bring their learning back to Boise. Fundraiser link below 👇

We have volunteers from over 20 US states traveling to DC! Help us cover some of their flights. pauseai-us.org/SponsorPauseCo…

PauseAI held the largest ever AI safety protest in London on Saturday to demand CEOs publicly back a pause in the development of frontier AI systems. “We think this is the most important issue of our age. Every protest we hold is bigger than the last; AI safety is rapidly becoming a priority for the public.” #ai @PauseAI_UK

In London, @PauseAI_UK and Pull the Plug just held the biggest AI protest ever. ⏸️ 🤖 ⏸️ 🤖 ⏸️ 🤖

Current chatbot models aren’t as safe or secure as AI labs claim. Guardrails can be hacked or removed, putting everyone at risk. #PauseAI #PauseAIUS

On April 11th, 2026, PauseAI volunteers will be traveling to Washington DC from over 20 states to accomplish 3 things: 1. Meet with their Senators and Congressmen in person and advocate for pausing dangerous AI development. 2. Hold the largest PauseAI demonstration in our nation’s capital. 3. Learn grassroots lobbying, and take those learnings back to their home states to teach other volunteers how to enact federal and state regulations. And we need your help! We have volunteers flying in from as far as Anchorage, Alaska and individuals from many different backgrounds — from college students and engineers, to elementary school teachers. For many of our volunteers, your donation could make the difference to allow them to travel to DC, meet lawmakers in person, and demand action. This is our opportunity to bring our message to the lawmakers who need to hear it most and protect our future. Thank you for your support. pauseai-us.org/SponsorPauseCo…

Keep up the heat! Don’t let @AGRobBonta let this violation of SB 53— only weeks after it went into effect— slip through the cracks. OpenAI thinks they don’t need to make sure they are in compliance with their own safety plan. Show them who’s boss: demand an investigation!

Advanced AIs are in so many products and processes it will soon be impossible to “shut it down” when security incidents occur. #PauseAIUS

It was a great day out. People were definitely more receptive and aware of AI risks than in the past. You can get involved by signing a petition, supporting the bipartisan senate bill, or volunteering your time :) #pauseAI
