A secret conference in New Orleans brought together 90 political, community, and thought leaders from across the ideological spectrum to discuss artificial intelligence and its societal impacts.

The gathering resulted in the Pro-Human Declaration, which has been signed by diverse groups including the American Federation of Teachers, Congress of Christian Leaders, Progressive Democrats of America, and Steve Bannon, representing a broad political resistance to unchecked AI development.
