Right now, a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires control the fate of our futures, making decisions about AI development and deployment without our input or our consent.

That's why we're launching Who Decides: to take back control of how this technology is governed, and to build a unified front on AI.

This is the defining issue of our future, and we need to act now. Join us to make a difference at whodecides.org

On Election Day, voters across the country made their feelings on AI development loud and clear: They want a say in what’s coming.

From South Carolina, to Ohio, to Texas, to Michigan, Democrats won pivotal races by calling for stronger AI guardrails and giving local communities a voice.

The power of the AI industry to influence elections is fading. Americans want their elected leaders to stand with them, not with a few Silicon Valley billionaires.
The Intercept: "The playbook was listening to voters. I think voters across ideologies were speaking with one voice, and I think their opponents were some of the people most willing to silence voters and accept industry cash instead,” said Alex Bores, who became a national figure by arguing for stricter AI regulations during a failed New York congressional primary bid earlier this year. As candidates ran away from data centers, the artificial intelligence industry’s most powerful super PAC stopped intervening in close races. An Intercept analysis found that the well-funded Leading the Future super PAC network, which is aligned with OpenAI, largely stopped spending in competitive general election races.
The Intercept: It lost in the one state where it did place a big bet, South Carolina. Incumbent Sen. Darline Graham, a Republican, fell to challenger Annie Andrews. Bores, who now leads a pro-AI regulation group called Who Decides, said he was not surprised to see candidates increasingly market themselves as AI skeptics. “I think it’s overdue. I think candidates and elected officials are catching up to where the electorate is, across parties,” Bores told The Intercept. “It is remarkable the agreement that voters have around wanting guardrails to protect us from the most powerful and fastest moving technology of our lifetime. Democracy is sometimes slow, but only so much."

As the pace of AI development continues to speed up, Americans feel like we’re losing control at the hands of a few billionaires.

And make no mistake, the amount of money from the AI industry and their attempts to influence politics is just the start. OpenAI’s top lobbyist called it “the movie trailer for 2028.”

Politico: The unifying theme is that we are not in control, we are losing control, said Alex Bores.

NEW: The tech industry is watching this battleground House race that is testing their political standing and Democrats’ path forward on tech.

“This is the movie trailer for 2028,” OpenAI’s top lobbyist Chris Lehane said.

AI regulation is not a niche or partisan issue: two-thirds of Americans want more regulation on AI.

When a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agree on an issue, the question is: Why isn’t our government listening to them?
When voters were asked which approach they'd prefer to AI... 66% want more regulation.
