Not without us!

A month ago, a war between the U.S. and China nearly broke out by accident. We had to report that the U.S. military had trusted an AI. American fighter jets were already in the air when the mistake was discovered. This shows that we should take a more critical look at the use of AI. If even the tech billionaires themselves are warning about the dangers of their AI, we should at least take them seriously when they make these statements. ( OpenAI is no better than Anthropic , AI builds knowledge for future generations )

AI Must Be Regulated!

That is why Aktion Freiheit statt Angst is calling for people to attend the event on Saturday, October 31, 26, at the Brandenburg Gate.

“Not Without Us!” demands Fairness Now! and writes in its call to action:

The hand as our logo — why? Because it defines us as FAIRNESS NOW, but also as human beings. We believe that everyone should have a say when it comes to AI. That decisions shouldn’t be made solely by the government, but by all of us together — ideally in citizens’ assemblies made up of people from all walks of life: those on the right and those on the left, East Germans and West Germans, vegans and car drivers — those who see AI as an opportunity and those who are afraid of it. Together, they’ll work out how we want to deal with this technology — this watershed moment — and then raise their hands in votes to make their decisions.

Why is it time to act?

If tech CEOs are warning against their own AI programs, we should probably believe them. If the government doesn’t start restricting AI and better monitoring its development now, if not now, then when? And are we all supposed to live with the consequences without having a say in the matter? Not without us. The future of AI must be in our hands, not in those of billionaires.

“It’s time to take action: AI is meant to replace us — our jobs, our creativity, our ideas — everything that defines us as human beings,” says Raphael Thelen, author, activist, and co-organizer of “Not Without Us!”

AI has long been used not only to create images and videos, but also to deliberately spread disinformation and right-wing propaganda. This poses a threat to our democracy, one we must stand up to together. We must not allow AI to become a tool for fascism and anti-democratic forces!

Artificial intelligence is already changing our society and will also shape our children’s future. Yet so far, it has been primarily tech corporations and politicians who have decided how this technology is developed and used.

We believe: Decisions that affect us all must not be made without us! Come to the Brandenburg Gate on Saturday!
