AI is advancing fast.
In a global race to lead, AI may grow in ways that don’t fully reflect the interests of the people it affects — both in the risks taken and in how the benefits are shared.
UniteAI gives the public a way to shift the incentives.
we commit, together, to back the lab that pledges to develop AI safely and to ensure people remain financially secure in an economy transformed by automation.
We're not slowing the race.
We're changing how it's won.
The Quick Version
UniteAI in 10 seconds
A handful of private companies are racing to build the most capable AI systems.
The race rewards speed, and most of the economic gains flow to a few companies — leaving ordinary people exposed to disruption but disconnected from the benefits.
If enough people unite behind the first lab that pledges safe development and financial security for people in an AI-transformed economy, that lab gains a real competitive advantage — and the incentives of the race shift.
The Stakes
Why this matters
AI is set to reshape almost every part of daily life — from how people work to how stability, opportunity and prosperity are created.
Even the organisations building these systems publish technical papers and reports acknowledging how quickly capabilities are emerging, and how challenging it is to balance caution with the pressure of a global race.
What today looks like simple chatbots sits on top of far more powerful systems. These models can think at digital speed, handling work that would take humans years — analysing data, planning, designing, reasoning — in minutes or hours. Most people see only the friendly interface, not the pace or scale of change behind it.
These concerns aren't coming from the sidelines. In recent years, AI lab leaders, researchers and global figures have signed public statements acknowledging these risks and calling for stronger safeguards:
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”

Read the statement →“AI labs are locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful AI systems that no one — not even their creators — can understand, predict, or reliably control.”
— Pause Giant AI Experiments, Open Letter 2023
Read the letter →“We call for a moratorium on the development of artificial superintelligence until robust international safeguards are in place.”
— 2025 Public Moratorium Letter (signed by global business leaders, public figures, and technologists)
Read coverage →Taken together, these statements underline a simple point: AI isn't just another app. It will touch the foundations of how society works — which is why the details of who it serves, and on what terms, matter so much.
Jobs & income: who continues to earn a living as automation expands
Wealth & ownership: whether prosperity is shared widely or concentrated narrowly
Power & stability: how key decisions affecting society may rely on powerful AI systems
Direction: once a single approach dominates, changing course becomes far harder
Now is the moment when incentives can still shift — before the trajectory becomes difficult to change.
Your support creates the signal that reshapes the race — and how the value it creates is shared.
