Pause AI Ireland
Implement a temporary pause on the training of the most powerful general AI systems, until we know how to build them safely and keep them under democratic control.
Why is this important?
Ireland aims to position itself as a global leader in AI adoption and innovation. PauseAI Ireland believes we must also be a global leader in AI regulation.

We are calling for a pause on the development of the most dangerous AI systems until their builders can prove, to independent evaluators, that they are safe.
No company should be allowed to deploy systems that reshape the economy, the information environment, and the balance of power without showing their work.
The burden of proof belongs with the people doing the building, not with the rest of us.
