Global AI Moratorium (GAIM) is a campaign run by the AI Safety and Governance Fund (AISGF), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, operating at moratorium.ai. The campaign advocates for governments worldwide to establish and enforce national restrictions, leading to a coordinated global moratorium on frontier AI training runs. Its core argument is that no one has a working solution to the AI alignment problem, and building superintelligent systems before solving it risks human extinction. The campaign presents expert statements, public-opinion data, and technical explainers to build political will for an international pause.

Theory of Change
GAIM believes the primary lever for reducing existential risk from AI is political will: if enough policymakers, opinion leaders, and members of the public understand the alignment problem and the extinction-level stakes, governments can coordinate an international moratorium on frontier AI training before misaligned superintelligence is created. The causal chain is: public education and persuasion campaigns raise awareness of AI risk, increased public concern creates political pressure on legislators and regulators, governments negotiate and enforce compute-governance agreements and training-run restrictions, and the resulting pause buys time for alignment research to mature. The campaign specifically targets the compute layer as the most tractable enforcement point, arguing that monitoring chip production and data-center access makes a moratorium verifiable and enforceable even without perfect global cooperation.
