Public Calls for 'People's Pause on AI' Amid Concerns Over Hasty and Irresponsible Deployments
- Generative AI is advancing rapidly with little oversight, becoming a guinea pig experiment on society
- Companies like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI are releasing AI products with flaws, biases, and bypassable safeguards
- AI-generated images and text can easily create election disinformation and social harms
- It's time for a "People's Pause on AI" - a commitment not to use new AI tech and a demand companies halt releases
- Just as Hollywood scripts feature people setting limits on power, everyday people must organize collective action against profit-driven AI deployment
