You Have the Power to Pause AI
70% of Americans want to pause or slow down dangerous AI development, but AI companies are racing to build a technology that could cause mass unemployment, catastrophic accidents, and even human extinction. Most people agree superhuman AI is dangerous. We organize to stop it.
Join us to protect the world from dangerous AI.
Three Ways to Take Action
PauseAI US is a nationwide grassroots movement working to pause the development of frontier AI. We organize Americans from all walks of life to demand a pause that gives society time to catch up, ensure the technology can be built safely (if at all), and democratically decide its future. Our local groups across the country meet with lawmakers, hold public protests and tabling events, and engage the media to warn the public about the dangers of advanced AI.
Join Our Grassroots Movement
We’re building PauseAI groups nationwide. Join yours or start a new group in your city.
Connect With Lawmakers
It is our government’s responsibility to protect us from AI danger. We call and email our representatives to support legislation, and arrange in-person constituent meetings to demand AI safety laws.
Support PauseAI US
Follow us on socials or donate to our 501(c)(3). We’re a small, nimble, and deeply committed team. Learn how your donations help us advocate for a pause on frontier AI.
Support the AI Risk Evaluation Act
There is a bipartisan Senate bill, currently in Congress, that would create the first nationwide AI safety testing laws. The new law would monitor for dangerous AI behavior like deception, self-replication, bioweapon creation, and losing human control.
Meet Your Representatives in Person
One of the highest-impact actions you can take is meeting with your representatives in person and telling them you want to Pause AI. It is their job to represent you. It is your right as a constituent to meet with your representatives, and PauseAI US is here to help. We have organized hundreds of meetings with lawmakers.
Join a Local Group
PauseAI US has a network of local groups across the country who engage their communities, organized under a Local Group Leader. We contact lawmakers to support AI safety legislation, educate the public, collect petitions, and build community to inspire American citizens to take action and pause dangerous AI development.

Read Our Blog
Learning about the risk of human extinction from AI can be overwhelming. We recommend introductory materials to educate your community, our perspective on AI danger and how to get an international treaty, and a deep blog of resources.
What I want you and the world to pay attention to is how unacceptable it is that this decision is in their hands. It is our right as citizens of the world not to be under threat from AI experiments.
We aren’t marching to beg the AI companies to be merciful and spare our lives — we are marching to show the world that we don’t have to lay down and accept our unelected overlords. The right and the power to curb dangerous AI development is already ours!
