Democrats Gear Up for AI Policy Initiatives Ahead of 2028 Elections
In a significant move to address the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, New York Democrat Alex Bores has launched a $30 million initiative aimed at unifying the Democratic Party around AI safety as a key issue for the upcoming 2028 election. This effort is complemented by the formation of a new bipartisan AI caucus in the House, where lawmakers are discussing the establishment of an AI select committee with subpoena power. While some senior Democrats express concerns about the formation of such a committee, there is a growing call among party strategists and lawmakers for clearer AI safety regulations. Additionally, a new political action committee has been created to help accelerate AI policy discussions, highlighting the urgency for Democrats to catch up on this pivotal topic.
