While I think this is a good idea in principle, most of these slogans don’t seem very effective because they suffer from the illusion of transparency. Consider what they must look like to someone viewing this from the outside:
“AI must be friendly” just sounds weird to someone who isn’t used to the lingo of calling AI ‘friendly’. I can’t think of an alternative slogan for this, but there must be a better way to phrase that.
“Ebola must die!” sounds great. It references a concrete risk that people understand and calls for its destruction. I could get behind that.
But I’m afraid that all the other points just sound like something a doomsday cult would say. I know that there is solid evidence behind this, but the people you are trying to convince don’t have that knowledge. If I was unaware of the issues and just saw a few of these banners without knowing the context, I would not be surprised to find “Repent! The end is nigh!” somewhere nearby.
I would recommend that you think of some more slogans like the Ebola one: Mention a concrete risk that is understandable to the public and does not sound far-fetched to the uninformed.
