Hey Google: Protect Kids' Futures—Pause AI development and keep AI out of schools! AI is eliminating jobs, spreading disinformation, and accelerating irreversible climate change. The massive data centers that power AI consume vast amounts of energy, mostly generated by fossil fuels that cause the climate crisis. Gas-powered data centers warm the planet, torching children’s futures, while AI does their schoolwork rather than letting them learn how to think. AI is not inevitable. We don’t have to wait passively while tech oligarchs race to consolidate political and economic power in their own hands. Join us for a family-friendly action outside Google's Chelsea offices to say: Pause AI development and keep AI out of schools! Bring your own signs about the dangers that Climate Change and AI pose to kid's futures. This event will take place RAIN OR SHINE. Sponsored by Rise and Resist, Climate Families, and AI Moratorium for Schools.
