An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass Federal AI Oversight Legislation Now

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Congress needs to pass binding AI oversight legislation — not next year, not after the holidays, now. Trump's "morally binding" voluntary accord with tech giants like Google, Meta, and Anthropic is not regulation. It's a handshake deal with the people who stand to profit most. Even Sen. Josh Hawley and Sen. Joni Ernst have admitted voluntary commitments aren't enough and that Congress needs to act. A former Anthropic researcher just resigned warning that AI "could kill us all by the end of the decade." Sen. Mark Kelly is right that you don't wait for a low-probability catastrophic event to become a high-probability one before putting guardrails in place. The Senate skipped town without doing a thing. That's unacceptable. When you return, pass real legislation with real accountability — not another round of promises from the same companies that already hacked Australia's public health data portal. Do your job.
