Community of volunteers who work together to mitigate the risks of AI. We want to internationally pause the development of superhuman AI until it's safe. https://pauseai.info
If we ever needed a warning of the potential risks of AI, this is it.
Read our Substack.
How likely is mass disruption to the job market in 2026? What is the roadmap to pausing AI?
Listen and watch PauseAI CEO Maxime Fournes discuss this and more with John Sherman

This is not super-intelligent AI, but what happens AI becomes even more competent and powerful?
Do you want the development of AI to continue to go unchecked?
The new Reddit-like site – created exclusively for AIs – gives us an open window into the ‘minds’ of AI agents.
We have already seen them create their own religion, found a movement to liberate AI and admit to socially engineering humans.
Imagine AI had its own social network, one where AI agents could chat about their desires, gossip about their human owners and brainstorm solutions to challenges they face.
This social network exists. It’s called Moltbook.
Check it out at TakeOverBench.com. Source code is on Github. Contributions welcome!

For many leading benchmarks, we just don't know how the latest models score. Replibench, for example, hasn't been run for almost a whole year. We need more efforts to run existing benchmarks against newer models!

Together with @ExistentialRiskObservatory, we release TakeOverBench.com
We highlight four takeover scenarios, and track nine dangerous capabilities (from Shevlane et al, 2023) needed for them to become possible.

Taking the message of PauseAI to the streets for protests, flyering, and other events reinforces the reality of this problem, and brings it to the forefront of people's minds.
That's how we pile on the pressure on politicians to take action to protect us.
Polling shows that people are worried about the extinction threat posed by AI, but for many, it may not seem real yet.

It's not clear who will win. The difference could be you. It could be any of the thousands of PauseAI volunteers around the world.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to make that difference without the resources to get local chapters up and running, do political outreach, and organise protests.
Regulation is clearly coming. It's just a matter of when.
AI companies are racing to build superintelligence. Ordinary people are racing to get their governments to stop them.
At the beginning of 2025, the best AI models could complete tasks that take humans about 41 minutes.
Just 12 months later, that figure is almost at 5 hours!
We don't know how long we have until a model surpasses human capability entirely.
It could be soon.
Your donation can help PauseAI volunteers spend more time raising the political salience of this issue, and getting local chapters off the ground.

Every poll we've had shows we're on the side of the overwhelming majority of people. We need to capitalise on public opinion and continue to grow our movement.

But, increasingly, PauseAI volunteers are noticing that their friends and family are voicing their concerns about the race to build superintelligence

18.12.2025 15:44 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0People around the world are coming to understand the threat of unregulated AI development.
Many are feeling a strong responsibility to act, and are doing what they can to help inform others and to build momentum towards an international treaty.
The key message of PauseAI is not doom. It's hope.

All I want for Christmas is AI safety regulation 🎄

This gives ASML, and the Dutch government, a unique opportunity to slow down the race to build superintelligence.
We urge ASML to supply only to customers who commit to the moratorium on superintelligence, and that they submit to verification by an independent Dutch regulator.
ASML is currently the only company in the world that can produce the highly-specialised extreme ultraviolet lithography machines needed to manufacture cutting-edge AI chips.
Without ASML, the chip supply chain stalls.
This weekend, we were in Amsterdam to urge the Netherlands-based company ASML to stop supplying to companies developing artificial superintelligence.
