STOP AI 🛑 Press Conference

​In this first-of-a-kind trial in history, three members of the group Stop AI are facing charges for repeatedly blockading the doors of OpenAI, a leading company in the global race to develop Artificial Superintelligence.

​The trial for Sam Kirchner, Wynd Kaufmyn, and Guido Reichstadter is scheduled to begin on November 21st, San Francisco Superior Court at 850 Bryant Street.

​Sam Kirchner said, “We are acting on our legal and moral obligation to stop OpenAI from developing Artificial Superintelligence which is equivalent to allowing the murder people I love as well as everyone else on earth." 

​Wynd Kaufmyn said, “As a scientist I know that we can never have experimental evidence before building ASI that shows it will stay safe forever. Hence we must enact a permanent global ban of all research and development projects to build it.”

​Guido Reichstadter said, “We call on all members of the global public to join in nonviolent direct action to immediately halt these projects everywhere.”
