AI Red Lines: Let users write down AI red lines in advance
Understand this story
A Show HN project called AI Red Lines invites users to write down their AI red lines in advance: which specific situations would prompt them to take action, and what action they would take, such as quitting, speaking out, or getting involved. The project asks users to share these commitments publicly to strengthen their binding force. Currently the project remains only at the stage of collecting and publishing personal commitments; the report does not mention any existing user submissions, number of commitments, or cases of actions actually being triggered.

- Hacker News AIShow HN: AI Red Lines – write down what would make you act on AI
A Show HN project invites people to decide in advance what developments in AI would make them act, and what they would do, then share and commit to those red lines. It cites a 2016 review of 138 trials with 19,951 people finding that tracking a goal helped more when it was public or reported to someone than when private, while noting no one has tested red lines for AI. It also tells the story of Joseph Rotblat, the only scientist known to have left the Manhattan Project on grounds of conscience, after his reason for being there no longer held.
