We lay out the argument as clearly and concisely as we can in our book.

You can also read our online resources, which go into some details not covered in the book.

Subheading

Why does the pledge only take effect if 100,000 people pledge to march?

Marches can be very powerful if they're large, but can send the wrong message if they're small.

So we're only asking that you pledge to march if enough other people will join in.

If we reach 100,000 pledges, we will schedule the march.

If not, we'll put our efforts towards other strategies instead.

We might reach critical mass soon.

Or it might take months or years, as more people learn about the dangers of ASI.

Subheading.

What do you mean by international treaty?

It's not useful for only one country to ban advancement of AI capabilities within its own borders.

AI development would just keep happening in other countries by people who didn't understand the dangers, until eventually someone somewhere built machines that were substantially smarter than any human.

This isn't an issue where lawmakers can pass a law inside their own country to protect their own people.

If anyone builds machine superintelligence, everyone dies, everywhere.

A problem like this requires multiple major powers of the world to unite in a shared agreement to stop this reckless suicide race.

We call on our leaders to declare support for such a treaty and to begin drafting it now.

We call on the whole world to unite to avert the danger.

It would not be the first time that humanity has put a stop to a technological race.
