Alex Bores, a New York state lawmaker, has launched a new organization called Who Decides, with a $30 million effort aimed at unifying Democrats on artificial intelligence policy. The launch comes as AI has become a significant political issue, with calls for regulation from industry leaders and politicians alike.
Bores, who recently lost a primary for retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler's seat where his campaign focused on AI regulation, stated that top AI executives should not be the ones to write the rules for the technology. His campaign had attracted $21 million from super PACs backed by AI industry factions.
Who Decides will concentrate its efforts on 11 states identified as crucial for the 2028 presidential primary and general election. The organization plans to conduct regular polls, host national conferences, and collaborate with local groups in these states to build a governing consensus on AI policy.
