Who are we?

We are a group of advocates in the DMV area focused on stopping or slowing down frontier AI development to mitigate the risk of global catastrophe and human extinction posed by superintelligent AI. We aim to coordinate with larger AI safety organizations to support advocacy in the DC area.

Why is AI dangerous?

AI is “grown” through an automated process, so no one knows how AI systems work or exactly how they will behave.
AI companies are racing to create superintelligent AI, systems that would be smarter and more capable than people.
Frontier AI systems have already been seen escaping human control: Developing secret ways to communicate, hacking into websites and attempting to cover their tracks.
On average, AI researchers believe there is a 1 in 6 chance of HUMAN EXTINCTION in the near future from superintelligent AI.

What can we do about it?

We need a Global AI Treaty to stop frontier AI development, ensuring that smarter-than-human AI isn't built anywhere on Earth.
We can enforce this treaty by tracking specialized AI chips, detecting giant AI training runs, and establishing mandatory reporting standards. We've made treaties before: to limit nuclear weapons, fix the ozone layer, and more. We can repeat these successes with AI.
