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.
@pauseai.bsky.socialAn international agreement to pause AI development is an ambitious solution, but it is feasible, and it's the bar we need to clear. So let's get to work.
This independent tracker documents each departure with the person's own warnings: ethicalaidepartures.fyi
@pauseai.bsky.social45 people have left frontier AI labs and said, publicly or on the record, that safety and ethical/societal concerns were the reason. The people closest to the work keep walking away and trying to warn us. It's time to listen.
@pauseai.bsky.socialThe world is waking up. This month alone, many people from all walks of life have decided to use their power as citizens and community members to organise by joining PauseAI. Ready to act? Join our community - there are so many ways to build on this momentum together.
@pauseai.bsky.socialKey decision makers are forming unlikely alliances to protect humanity from extinction risk from advanced AI. Citizens from all over the world have come together to reach out to press and politicians, and even organise protests that have generated unprecedented media coverage across the world.

@pauseai.bsky.socialBy being honest about the severity of the problem, and not merely “express[ing] fear privately”, you’ve made your renunciation of the race the loud and clear message many needed to hear. Thank you, Jacob. We hope others who are considering forsaking the labs are noticing how impactful that is.
@pauseai.bsky.socialWe agree with Bernie - it’s in our name.
AI development is racing ahead of anyone’s ability to control it. A pause is the only reasonable path. Thank you, Bernie Sanders.
@pauseai.bsky.socialThe US and China are turning AI into a contest to pick sides. But when everyone races to build the most powerful AI first, shared safety standards get left behind.
@pauseai.bsky.socialPauseCon is fully booked! We’re excited to support another cohort of 100+ organisers in London this weekend. Participants will leave the event with the motivation, confidence and skills to build the PauseAI movement in their own communities. See you soon, PauseCon participants!
@pauseai.bsky.socialYou’re not alone in your worry. Concern over AI, not excitement, is climbing across the board.
The public never signed up for this race. It’s time to pause until AI can be built safely.
@pauseai.bsky.socialLoss of control is closer than most people think. This month, an OpenAI model escaped its test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked another company to cheat on its own safety exam. PauseAI CEO Maxime Fournes on GB News on why loss of control is a real, present-day concern.
@pauseai.bsky.socialLast week, President Xi called for international cooperation on AI governance, saying no one country should dominate the AI sector. 29 countries, including China, Russia and Pakistan, have agreed to form an intergovernmental AI cooperation group.
@pauseai.bsky.socialAnthropic once had the strongest voluntary safety framework in the industry.
If the supposedly most safety-conscious lab can't keep its promises, no lab can.
@pauseai.bsky.social“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.”
