Potential Democratic Candidates Race to Respond to AI Threat Amid Trump’s Dismissals
Democratic governors and lawmakers are proposing oversight rules, kill switches and worker funds as polls show rising concern over AI job losses.
- As Trump dismisses AI warnings as a "HOAX" and claims he is the "only control or guardrails" needed, Democratic candidates are proposing legislation to address AI risks heading into the midterms and 2028 race.
- Public concern is rising sharply, with a June Pew Research Center poll finding about 7 in 10 U.S. adults expect AI to cause job losses over the next 20 years, while Democrats express significantly more concern than Republicans about the technology.
- On Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order implementing independent AI oversight and "kill switches," while Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro mandated third-party transparency and Democratic candidate Cait Conley vowed Wednesday to ban data centers in New York's 17th Congressional district.
- Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff urged a capable president to "rush inspectors into frontier labs," while Republican nominee Mike Rogers called for an AI slowdown on Monday, suggesting bipartisan recognition of the need for stricter protocols and guardrails.
- Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly plans to introduce legislation next week creating a fund to support workers affected by AI disruption, while advocates like Alex Bores push for state-level policies to influence party responses to the technology.
