Pull the Plug and @PauseAI organised 'March Against the Machines’ - the world’s largest AI protest to date. We hosted a packed-out Assembly afterwards 💜 This technology affects our lives, so we should have a say about it 🤖👩‍👦

Today in London, the AI Safety March organised by @PauseAI and Pull the Plug brought together a broad coalition calling for stronger safeguards on artificial intelligence. The message was clear: we still do not know how to safely develop advanced AI systems, yet billions are being invested to scale them at speed while regulation and safety research fall behind. Recent research from the Ada Lovelace Institute highlights a widening gap between public concern and government action, suggesting policymakers are out of step with how people feel about AI’s growing role in infrastructure, public services, and everyday life. The march today marked a significant moment, with diverse organisations and communities uniting around shared goals of safety, accountability, fairness and democratic oversight of powerful technologies shaping our future.

“We actually are social beings, so when people are systematically atomised and alienated, then they get mentally ill, they get aggressive, and they start doing bad things. [...] What's the solution to that? The solution is to shut up. Come to the assembly and you talk, we listen.” @AyoCaesar in conversation with the co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, @RogerHallamCS21. Watch the full episode of Downstream on our YouTube channel.

Organising from the grassroots is the way to properly change society. Join the zoom call on 11th December to hear about what @RogerHallamCS21 and @AyoCaesar are talking about: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

As I argue in my new book, the success of radical projects depends not on lofty ideology but on the details of how we organise. The Devil is in the Details.
