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.

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: 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.
