Updated: 2025.09.16 1M ago 1 sources
AI‑safety activists are escalating tactics to hunger strikes outside major labs (e.g., two weeks at Anthropic’s San Francisco office; a shorter attempt at Google DeepMind in London) to demand a halt to frontier AI. This mirrors earlier nuclear and environmental movements and signals rising moral urgency within the AI‑risk ecosystem. — Escalating protest tactics indicate AI governance is moving from expert debate to mass‑movement pressure, potentially influencing regulation and corporate decisions.
