Brief

PauseAI is a global movement advocating for a pause on AI development regulated by an international AI Safety Agency (AISA). It operates via a federated model with national chapters as distinct legal entities raising funding independently. The organization focuses on risks of human-level and superhuman AI, delivering conferences, open letters to politicians, and organizing large AI protests.
