The UK is on a roll. Acknowledging virtually every risk from AI, investing £100M in AI safety, organizing a summit, accouncing an AI Safety Institute.
But good is not good enough. Top AI experts like Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio have made it very clear: we do not know how to control a superhuman AI. If we get this wrong, human extinction is a very real possibility. Therefore we are calling for an immediate and indefinite pause on frontier AI research and development.
The Summit is a golden opportunity to governments to take the first steps towards sensible international AI safety regulation, and for us to set the narrative!
7:45am - Meet near King’s Cross, get in a minivan and drive to the summit.
9am - Arrive at the Summit (meeting everyone who didn’t come in the van) and protest.
12pm - Lunch nearby the Summit
---Around this point some people will leave from Bletchley Station. We will provide train tickets home.---
1pm - Protest at the Summit some more / hang out / talk to the media
4pm - Drive to Cambridge in the minivan
6pm - Protest outside Sam Altman’s talk at the Cambridge Union
8pm - Return to London in the van.
Note the plan above is not entirely set in stone. We don't know all the details of the Summit yet, but this should give you a good idea of what the day will be like. See you on Wednesday!
