Protests against artificial intelligence are taking place in the Bay Area and worldwide, including in Brazil, Germany, and Norway, as San Francisco-based OpenAI is expected to make major announcements. Demonstrators, including those from the group PauseAI, are calling for a halt on AI development until safety concerns are addressed. Protesters are urging engineers to lessen the risks associated with AI technology, with some carrying signs such as 'Quit your job at OpenAI. Trust your conscience.' The protests coincide with OpenAI's unveiling of GPT-4o and new features for Chat GPT, ahead of an industry summit next month.
