PauseAI is a global political movement founded in the Netherlands with the stated aim of achieving global coordination to stop the development of artificial intelligence systems more powerful than GPT-4, at least until it is known how to build them safely, and keep them under democratic control. [1] The movement was established in Utrecht in May 2023 by software entrepreneur Joep Meindertsma. [2]
Its first public action was to protest in front of Microsoft's Brussels lobbying office in May 2023 during an event on artificial intelligence. [3] In November of the same year, they protested outside the inaugural AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park. [4]
Proposal
PauseAI's stated goal is to “implement a pause on the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4”. Their website lists some proposed steps to achieve this goal: [1]
- Set up an international AI safety agency, similar to the IAEA.
- Only allow training of general AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 if their safety can be guaranteed.
- Only allow deployment of models after no dangerous capabilities are present.
