Alex Bores launches $30 million effort to unify Dems on AI
"Who Decides" was launched by the New York state lawmaker who became one of the AI industry's chief targets when he ran for Congress on a platform focused on regulating the technology.
New York Assemblymember Alex Bores is launching a $30 million effort called "Who Decides" to unite Democrats around addressing AI regulation, according to the organization's website. The goal is to have Democratic candidates from top to bottom run on a common AI safety agenda by 2028. The website implies that Who Decides will be organized as a group focused on funding rather than a super PAC or nonprofit.
Bores is launching the organization with his former chief of staff, Anna Myers, and will reject corporate money or contributions from executives at frontier AI companies. The launch comes as AI has become a major political issue, with concerns about the technology's potential to bring about the end of humanity and calls for regulation from various leaders.
The group will focus on 11 key states for the 2028 presidential primary and general election and conduct quarterly polls, host conferences, and partner with local groups.
