Across the world, people are standing up to reckless AI development.
53% of Americans now believe that AI will destroy humanity at some point. This is a major milestone in public awareness, decades in the making.
The rest of the world may follow suit soon, as evidence of AI's extreme risks continue to accumulate.

This is a remarkable move forward for humanity. We are immensely grateful for all the thousands of people who helped make this happen.
But it's not enough and it's many years too late.
