Public pressure
Visible protests, open letters, and local action to keep safety at the centre of AI policy.
Community-led AI safety
PauseAI UK
We mobilise communities, challenge industry, and press leaders to pause unsafe AI development until real safeguards exist.
On the ground since 2023
Why pause?
Protect people while AI races ahead
Advanced AI is being rushed to market without sufficient oversight. We organise citizens, experts, and policymakers to demand accountability before irreversible harm is done.
Community building
City chapters host forums, workshops, and book launches to grow informed voices.
Accountability
We hold labs to their promises and push for enforceable commitments, not just pledges.
