The goal of the AI "arms race" is artificial intelligence that can improve itself without human input.
It could quickly become more advanced than even the smartest human.
We will not be able to control it.
The AI we have today already act, and are used, in ways that deceive and manipulate humans.
The people working on superintelligent AI admit it could result in the death of all human life.
We should never allow AI that is smarter than humans.
…before AI stops you!
“I actually think the risk [of human extinction from superintelligent AI] is more than 50%.”
“I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate.”
“Imagine it, this huge unstoppable force. And I think it’s pretty likely the entire surface of the Earth will be covered with solar panels and datacenters.”
“If we build machines that are way smarter than us and have their own preservation goals, that’s dangerous.”
“AI will probably most likely sort of lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime there will be great companies using machine learning.”
Non-violent resistance is the only answer.
STOP AI respects the sanctity and value of every human life.
Many of the people pursuing artificial superintelligence openly admit they view humans as expendable resources.
History shows us that non-violent movements can meet their goals quickly when a large enough group of people cooperate towards a common goal.
Our strategy is to build a diverse coalition of humans, with mutual respect:
Inform people about the threats they are facing
Reassure them we still have a chance to create a better future
Invite them to take non-violent action
Respect our right to disagree, and focus on the areas we do agree
