I checked out one of the biggest anti-AI protests ever
Summary
Anti-AI protest groups organized a march in London on February 28 with a couple hundred protesters expressing concerns about generative AI (AI systems trained on large amounts of data to generate text, images, or other content), ranging from job displacement and harmful content to existential risks. The protest represents a significant growth in organized anti-AI activism, with groups like Pause AI expanding rapidly since their 2023 founding to mobilize larger crowds around concerns that researchers have documented about AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini.
