Civil Disobedience Against AI- The Misdemeanor of Wynd Kaufmyn

Kaufmyn, a former educator and anti-AI activist had chained shut the doors of OpenAI.

Now she's on trial — and she's not pleading not guilty. She's arguing it was necessary.

Wynd Kaufmyn of the activist group @StopAI_Info faces up to a year in jail. Her "necessity defence" asks the jury to decide whether the threat of artificial superintelligence is imminent enough to justify breaking the law.

It's civil disobedience borrowed straight from the Gandhi–King playbook — courting arrest, turning the trial itself into the stage.

We spoke to AI researcher @DavidSKrueger to understand why this is a historic trial in U.S.
