Evitable is a nonprofit organization with a mission to make people aware of the dangers of AI, and to empower communities to resist the trajectory of AI development. A small number of AI companies are racing to create artificial “superintelligence” – AI systems that far exceed human capabilities, which they believe will give their creators unprecedented power. These companies openly admit they do not fully understand what they are building, and that their work poses massive risks, including mass unemployment, mass surveillance, and even human extinction. Despite this, AI is being deployed across society with little-to-no oversight or accountability. This path is not inevitable. Our vision is that in ten years time, the race to develop superintelligence will be a thing of the past, and people will look back and say “What were we thinking?”
