Story Written in the First Person Perspective

As a conservative activist, I’ve always been concerned about the rapid advancements in AI technology and the potential risks it could pose to our society. That’s why I created AI Safety First, a boycott campaign that seeks to hold consumer electronics manufacturers accountable for the AI they produce.

After rallying support from our community, we launched the 45-day boycott, urging participants to refrain from non-essential electronics purchases. The reaction was astounding - more and more people shared their concerns with AI risks and joined the boycott.

Through viral social media posts and gaining media attention, we’ve successfully heightened the public’s awareness about AI risks and even caught the attention of major consumer electronics manufacturers. As a result, several manufacturers made commitments to implement AI safety measures in their products, and the public embraced the new social norm of responsible consumption.
