ControlAI Seattle Citizen Group Meeting

Come join the ControlAI Seattle Citizen Group! We're Seattle locals who are worried about where AI is headed and are doing something about it. New faces are very welcome, and no expertise is needed.

Why we care

AI companies are racing to build runaway machine intelligence: AI that's smarter than us at basically everything, and that we couldn't control. Top AI scientists, Nobel Prize winners and even the heads of the big AI companies have warned it could lead to human extinction. Yet there's almost no regulation. Selling a sandwich has more rules.

So we advocate for an international ban on developing these systems, both with the Seattle public and with our lawmakers.

What we do

Meet with our lawmakers. We've already met with the offices of Rep. Adam Smith and Sen. Maria Cantwell, and we're lining up more meetings soon.

Flyer, table and chat with people around town

Learn together through workshops, reading groups and lightning talks

Lawmakers rarely hear from constituents about this, so a handful of us speaking up really gets noticed.

On the agenda

Next steps for meeting our representatives

Some important updates to our messaging

The new training program that gets volunteers ready to brief lawmakers

Brainstorming outreach with communities around Seattle
