Asking Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei to commit to a conditional global pause.

The architects of these systems know the race is reckless. They've warned us about the existential risks themselves, repeatedly. But each argues they can't slow down because they need to beat the others and geopolitical adversaries.
We're not asking anyone to stop alone. Just to say: if the others pause, I will too.
In September 2025, we protested at Google DeepMind with the same demand. Demis Hassabis said he'd be open to it — but that international coordination was the key bottleneck. Public commitments from lab leaders are what create the conditions for that coordination. Now it's Elon, Sam, and Dario's turn.
In February 2026, Dario Amodei's Anthropic quietly dropped its commitment to pause development if its own AI became too dangerous. Holden Karnofsky, former CEO of Open Philanthropy and now at Anthropic, admitted there was "enormous pressure" to downplay risks, because triggering a pause would hurt the company. Their solution? Remove the commitment entirely.
They claim they are building safely for the benefit of humanity. It's time they prove it.
