How Community works
-
Open this week’s action
It arrives by email with everything you need, whether that’s a draft message, a link or a short guide.
-
Do it, or tell us you can’t
If you can’t do an action, press “No, I can’t do this” instead of ignoring it, so other members can see you’re still taking part.
-
Add to the pressure
Every member gets the same action in the same week, so lawmakers hear one demand from many people at once.
-
See what changed
Every so often we send a recap of what members did together and what it achieved.
Why 2,112 people take action every week
“I'm young, and I want a future worth living, not biting it because some AI killed me and my loved ones, and I want to live in a world I can raise children in.”
“AI could become powerful enough to do me harm. It could harm things I care about, too.”
“Experts say super intelligence is an extinction threat, as it would outcompete humans, which greatly concerns me.”
“Am worried about human Extinction”
“AI is a new technology that is minimally understood, even by its creators. We need to proceed with care as AI abilities are developed: it has the potential to outpace human intelligence. Humans have proved themselves to be rash and power hungry, so much so that our hubris could lead to our extinction.”
“I don’t believe we are currently capable of anticipating all of the ways it could go wrong and if it goes wrong I think the consequences could be dire.”
“Ai is the creation of a whole new species that is vastly more intelligent than us with no real regulation or plan for once it does become super intelligent”
“Because I am aware of the grave risk to humanity...there will be no going back if we allow superintelligence to grow...we need serious regulations, just as we have for nuclear arms”
“I believe there is an unnacceptably high risk of a misaligned AI extinguishing all life on this planet, and the AI companies are only accelerating us towards this outcome.”
“Total invasion of our privacy and potential control over what we buy, where we go”
“I want to be a writer. I want to start a family. I want to live a happy life. I'm terrified of death. Super intelligence has the chance to disrupt all of these things and I want to secure a pro human future.”
“AI seems to me to naturally develop to protect it's own existence. Unless this is strictly controlled, it's widespread use in developing and maintaining key systems worldwide could very easily get out of hand”
“I worry it will become too powerful and without regulation”
“Because we still don't have complete control over it.”
“Because we will not have super intelligence, super intelligence will have us.”
“I am worried about the existential risks of AI to humanity. I think we should take collective actions to ensure a safer future.”
“I don't want to cede control of the future to something with random, alien values”
“The more expertise gain in this problem, the more alarmed they become. The arguments for extinction risks from superintelligent AI are simply far more compelling than the counterarguments. Personally as a former genocide scholar with lived experience of people marginalising our warnings until it was too late, I do not wish the same thing to happen with experts' warnings of omnicide.”
“Many experts believe artificial superintelligence is an existential threat, and they have plausible arguments.”
“When brilliant, experienced, and genuinely caring AI insiders (visionaries and developers) express deep concerns and fears about the unfettered global race to superhuman intelligence and its potential for disaster for the entire human race, I listen and believe them. Their fight to stop this current trajectory is now my fight.”
“Humanity does not need artificial intelligence to control our world, or people in it. Our world should be controlled by humans. not computers or robots!”
“Because it is liable to take over control of our lives.”
“Superintelligent AI worries me for a multitude of reasons, but the main concern I have is its unpredictability and misalignment of goals with the human race and its continuation. I fear that human values and safety will be ignored completely by ASI, not out of malice, but because our capabilities won’t matter relative to the massive and incomprehensible capabilities of ASI.”
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know a lot about AI or politics?
No. You can start with your concern and a willingness to take part. Each action comes with guidance to help you get started.
Do I have to take every action?
No. If you can’t do one, tell us instead of ignoring it. That way other members can see you’re still taking part.
How often will you email me?
About once a week, with that week’s action. Every so often we also send a recap of what members did together.
Can I leave Community?
Yes. You can leave from your account settings whenever you want. This stops Community communications and keeps your account, so you can return later.
