Story Written in the First Person Perspective

As the creator of the RoboRevolution campaign, I saw the need for a movement that addressed AI’s existential risk while championing strong, top-down control measures. I realized that media outlets could play a vital role in shaping society’s understanding of AI’s potential dangers.

Through our educational content, we started a conversation in the media and shifted the narrative towards the importance of authoritarian regulation. Our campaign created a groundswell of support for stricter controls on AI development, ultimately leading to a safer future for humanity.

How Will Opponents to This Campaign Try to Stop It

Opponents may attempt to discredit the campaign by framing its far-right authoritarian approach as extreme or fear-mongering. They may also argue that stricter regulations would stifle innovation and technological progress.

How Should Activists Respond to Opponent’s Attempts to Stop It

Activists should focus on the campaign’s core message — the existential threat posed by AI — and emphasize the necessity of rigorous regulation for humanity’s survival. They should counter arguments by highlighting historical examples where a lack of regulation led to disastrous outcomes.
