""The reason we are pausing AI is because we believe that building AI that can automate AI research, and that can self improve, could be a danger to the human race, especially human extinction," Michaël Trazzi, an organizer with Stop the AI Race, told local reporters."
""It's not only me and other researchers saying this, it's the lab CEOs themselves that [say] the risk is real.""
""On day nine of his hunger strike, Reichstadter told Futurism that frontier AI systems are an 'entirely new class of danger.'""
Nearly 200 protestors rallied outside Anthropic's headquarters, urging CEO Dario Amodei to pause AI development. Organizers from Stop the AI Race expressed concerns about AI's potential to automate research and self-improve, posing risks to humanity. Protestors included former tech workers and researchers. The demonstration was described as the largest AI safety protest in U.S. history. Participants also marched to OpenAI and xAI, echoing similar demands. Concerns about existential threats from advanced AI systems were emphasized by protestors, including those who previously engaged in a hunger strike.
