Stop The AI Race Protest - Asking Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei To Commit To A Conditional Global Pause
Bring a sign. Bring a friend.
We're marching to three of the top AI companies in San Francisco (Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI) with one demand: every CEO must publicly commit to pausing frontier AI development if every other lab does the same.
Demis Hassabis (CEO of Google DeepMind) already said he'd be open to a conditional pause at Davos in January 2026. That was the main ask of our Google DeepMind protest in September 2025. Dario Amodei also said at Davos he'd "figure something out" if it were only him and Demis in the race. And OpenAI's charter already includes a commitment to stop competing if another lab is closer to AGI.
But in February, Anthropic quietly dropped its own commitment to pause if its AI became too dangerous. And OpenAI has been weakening its safety commitments as it restructures into a for-profit corporation.
So on March 21st we'll be asking Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic), Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI), and Elon Musk (CEO of xAI) to make a public statement: would you pause if every other major AI company in the world pauses?
