If you like to socialize:
- Sign up for one of our events . We do everything from public demonstrations in front of AI companies to attending networking sessions with related organizations.
- Set up a meeting with your local political official to discuss AI risks. Copy us by email so we can support your engagement with resources and additional members. Alternatively, finding an official in your state or region who works directly on AI legislation may be more productive.
If you’re good at posting and networking on social media:

- We’re always looking for more people to help us capture our public demonstrations and spread the message. Either attend our in-person meetings , or send an email to nyc@pauseai.info with a brief summary of your experience.
