Lawmakers are talking about AI. Will it last past Election Day?

Lawmakers are talking about AI. Will it last past Election Day?

Tech policy rarely decides elections, but AI is everywhere this year. Will lawmakers act on it after Election Day?

.@GuardrailsNow memo to be sent later todays says, pre-election day, it thinks @LeadingFutureAI has officially fizzled out: "While the AI industry is likely to remain a major spender in elections moving forward, it is abundantly clear that Leading the Future has completely and unequivocally failed in their political strategy and has become a politically toxic entity that candidates and donors do not want to be associated with... Their deep pockets were supposed to make them a political powerhouse, but the unpopularity of their agenda and their funders have made them a liability instead."

What does a farmer in Iowa have in common with a writer in Hollywood? Across industries, people are being crushed by corporate consolidation. @BedoyaUSA on this on The Maybe: "There was a farmer in Iowa... who posted on Facebook 'I see those people in Hollywood, that happened to me. All my suppliers consolidated, all my buyers consolidated, and we're just getting squeezed."

Democratic voters know it: Essentials, the stuff people and industry can't do without, should be controlled by the public. AI is an emergent essential. Once it's baked into the system, we will all rely on it.
