PauseAI writes to every single Google DeepMind employee.

​In 2024, Google made a public commitment at the AI Summit in Seoul. They signed the Frontier AI Safety Commitments, pledging to conduct rigorous testing of their AI models. They said they would consider results from independent third-party evaluators and provide full transparency about the process, including government involvement.

​​Then came March 2025, when Google released Gemini 2.5 Pro - their most advanced AI model yet. When safety experts looked for the promised testing report, they found nothing. No external evaluation. No transparency report. Just silence.

​​A month later, under pressure, Google published a barebones "model card" with some internal evaluations but no mention of external evaluations. They later added vague references to "external testers" but provided no details. When Fortune asked directly whether governments were involved, Google refused to answer - violating their transparency pledge.

​​While today's AI models aren't dangerous enough to cause mass destruction, AI development is accelerating unpredictably. We need rigorous testing of each generation to avoid being caught off-guard by sudden leaps in capability. More importantly, Google's casual disregard for safety commitments sets a dangerous precedent.

​PauseAI told Google about our concerns. We protested. We wrote an open letter to Google DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis, signed by 62 British parliamentarians. But they still haven't promised to do better next time.

​So now we're going to write to every single employee at DeepMind's London office. To make sure they've read our letter and understand the commitments that their bosses have made and broken.

​In this event we will be writing letters and sending them to the DeepMind office. You do not need to bring anything with you. Drinks, snacks and good chat provided.
