For a Human AI

Scientists are brewing bioweapons with AI. Whistleblowers warn it could cause human extinction. Trump might think that’s all fine, but the rest of us want a future with us in it. And there is a better path: this week, experts, artists, and workers worldwide need our help to smash past their goal of a million signatures on a declaration demanding pro-human AI – together we can force oligarchs and lawmakers to put people, ethics, and safety before profit: Right now, billionaires like Elon Musk and Sam Altman are competing in an aggressive race to control the future of AI — and it's coming at a painfully high cost. They are treating the entire planet as an unregulated laboratory, and all of us as their guinea pigs. AI should enrich humanity, protect individual liberty, and solve major challenges, not replace us or risk our future just to make a handful of tech oligarchs even more outrageously wealthy. That’s why a powerful coalition of tech experts, artists, parents, religious leaders, workers and scholars drafted the Pro-Human AI Declaration — a global demand to put people, not tech billionaires, at the centre of AI development. They launch their big push this week, and they’ve asked our movement to help turn this into the largest public campaign on AI in history. Let's help them beat their goal of 1 million signatures! They will deliver our demand directly to lawmakers and executives worldwide, giving brave leaders the mandate they need to protect humanity from rogue AI.

They are treating the entire planet as an unregulated laboratory, and all of us as their guinea pigs. AI should enrich humanity, protect individual liberty, and solve major challenges, not replace us or risk our future just to make a handful of tech oligarchs even more outrageously wealthy. That’s why a powerful coalition of tech experts, artists, parents, religious leaders, workers and scholars drafted the Pro-Human AI Declaration — a global demand to put people, not tech billionaires, at the centre of AI development. They launch their big push this week, and they’ve asked our movement to help turn this into the largest public campaign on AI in history. Let's help them beat their goal of 1 million signatures! They will deliver our demand directly to lawmakers and executives worldwide, giving brave leaders the mandate they need to protect humanity from rogue AI. SIGN THE DECLARATION: HUMANITY BEFORE PROFIT We’ve already seen what happens when Big Tech regulates itself: democracies destabilised by industrial-scale disinformation, societies divided by algorithms, and privacy violated. Now, unvetted AI is everywhere from hospitals to conflict zones – inflating healthcare costs, driving up energy bills, and flooding our lives with manipulative content. It doesn't have to be this way. A better path is possible — one where trustworthy, controllable AI tools work for us, protect our privacy, strengthen our relationships, and amplify our human potential. But this will only happen if people everywhere demand it right now. Sign now and share with people you know want a better future for all of us. SIGN THE DECLARATION: HUMANITY BEFORE PROFIT Our movement helped pass the strongest legislation regulating Big Tech in the EU, proving that when we organise, we can force tech giants to mitigate the risks they cause. Now, we need to take this fight global and win a future where AI serves humanity, not Musk and Altman. With hope and determination, Nádia, Nate and the entire Avaaz Team P.S.
