Teams of PauseAI

PauseAI consists almost exclusively of volunteers (sign up here). We are organized in teams, each working on a different aspect of our movement. Every team has a leader, regular meetings, and a Role on the discord server.

  • Partnership

    PauseAI is not alone in the fight against superhuman AI. The Partnership Team finds common goals and potential for collaborations with other organizations.

    Team leader: Chris Gerrby
  • Oversight

    The Oversight team can be thought of as the management team, the group of people who manage the other teams.

    Team leader: Felix De Simone
  • Outreach

    This team acts like recruiters do: proactively reach out to others (mostly through e-mail). The recruiter team informs others of AI risks, and tries to get them to act!

    Team leader: Diego Delgado
  • Lobby

    Educate members of effective lobby strategies.

    Team leader: Felix De Simone
  • Strategy

    Inform the Oversight team of strategic insights.

    Team leader: Chris Gerrby
  • Protest

    Plan (international) protests, set dates, respond to events, have a clear message and strategy for protests, empower local protest organizers, give them materials and educate them.

    Team leader: Holly Elmore
  • Project MM
    Team leader: Maxime Fournes

  • Data Science

    Use surveys and data analysis to understand what people think about AI risks and how they can be convinced.

  • Discord

    Our Discord server is where the magic happens. Over 1500 people are on that digital space to share insights and collaborate towards a Pause. So the Discord team has a very important job!

    Team leader: Patricio Vercesi
  • Comms

    Everything that you see that PauseAI does publicly (this website, social media accounts, newsletters, press releases, youtube) is done by this team!

    Team leader: Felix De Simone
  • Software

    Maintain the website, the Discord bot, the CRM and other software tools.

    Team leader: Anthony Bailey
  • Artist Team

    Artists make cool things. The Artist Team works on various (mostly visual) projects to make PauseAI more effective. Of course without using AI art.

    Team leader: Alex Alarga
  • Action Portfolio [on ice]

    Make it as easy as possible for new members to take actions.

    Team leader: Chris Gerrby
  • Funding

    Make sure PauseAI has funds to do its various tasks! We find potential funding sources and make sure we don't go broke.
