The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is outpacing the guardrails that should be in place to protect our democracy, our jobs, and our basic rights as human beings. While AI holds tremendous promise, it also presents profound risks—many of which are already here, not decades away. Deepfakes are distorting reality, biased algorithms are fueling discrimination, and unregulated corporate use of AI is threatening workers, artists, educators, and entire industries. We are witnessing a gold rush among tech giants, eager to roll out increasingly powerful AI systems with little regard for transparency, accountability, or ethical use. Without clear, enforceable regulation, we are handing the future over to a handful of corporations that have shown time and again they are unwilling or unable to self-regulate. Congress must act—not with vague guidelines or voluntary frameworks, but with binding laws that: • Enforce transparency in AI development and deployment • Protect workers from displacement without support or retraining • Prevent AI from being used in surveillance, predictive policing, or other civil liberties violations • Safeguard elections from AI-generated misinformation • Preserve human authorship and consent in art, media, and education Regulating AI is not anti-innovation. It is pro-human. It is pro-democracy. It is pro-future. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to put the genie back in the bottle. We’re not asking you to slow progress. We’re asking you to steer it. Do your job. Protect the public. Regulate AI now.
