New York State Assemblyman Alex Bores has launched a nonprofit organization called Who Decides, which aims to shape Democratic policy on artificial intelligence. According to reports, Who Decides has already raised $10 million and plans to raise another $20 million in 2027.
The organization's goal is to unite Democrats around a common AI safety agenda, with the aim of having Democratic candidates run with this agenda by 2028. Who Decides' objectives include addressing the harms people already see from AI and the broader danger that increasingly powerful systems could destabilize the economy, democracy, and safety.
The organization plans to reject "corporate money or contributions from senior executives at frontier AI companies." Its website has a "donate" link that redirects to a webpage hosted by Give Butter, an organization focused on helping nonprofits fundraise.
