A woman identified as Kaufman, described as the first person jailed for participating in an AI protest, is said to tell technology companies including OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta to “regain your humanity.” The reporting says she made the remarks from jail after being sent there following the protest activity.

The sources describe Kaufman as defending the demonstration as necessary. She argues that rapid development and deployment of advanced AI could pose serious risks to people and society, and she frames her message as a call for greater care and restraint from major developers.

Across the coverage provided, the focus stays largely on her statements and the fact of her detention, with no major differences in the core facts presented. The reports emphasize her warning about potential threats from AI and her direct appeals to prominent companies rather than detailing broader law-enforcement findings or the specifics of the protest beyond its characterization as an “AI protest.”
