About PauseAI

PauseAI is a young, international non-profit organization with the goal of preventing the creation of AI that is (much) more intelligent than humanity. A staggering 86% of AI scientists

believe that if we reach this point, there is a chance we could lose control. The three biggest AI scientists
have long been warning us: this could mean the end of humanity.

PauseAI started in April 2023 and has since grown to 2000 members, over 100 registered volunteers , and dozens of local groups across the world.
