A handful of billionaires are trying to make all the decisions about what AI means for the rest of us, and spending millions to divide the Democratic coalition on this issue. We're not going to let them.
Voters deserve a say in how AI changes their lives. We launched ure their questions and concerns can’t be ignored and to make sure every 2028 candidate has to answer them.

The defeated lawmaker gained prominence as a voice for AI safety. Now, he has a plan, and $30 million, for keeping Democrats in line. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

We can’t afford an AI arms race - our government needs to collaborate internationally on regulation, including with China.
If we treat AI development as a zero-sum game, we all lose.

Simple test: Will these proposals from @chrislehane include anti-democracy clauses (bans on states from enforcing new AI laws)?
If so, it's the same malarkey in a shiner package.

SIGNED! S.9051B is now law & the STRONGEST bill in the nation protecting children from unsafe chatbot features!
I introduced this w/ @AlexBores because I've heard from concerned parents, struggling to figure out how to keep their children safe from the threats of new technology.

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

Yesterday, New York showed that we can lead the country in passing common-sense AI safety regulation.
Proud to work with @SenGonzalezNY and steadfast parent advocates like the Adam Raine Foundation on this bill to ensure that kids are protected from dangerous AI chatbots. Thank signing into law.

It's time to retire this lazy industry talking point.
If an AI company CEO actually believed they couldn't handle a dozen different jurisdictions, their board would fire them.
There are far more countries than there are states, but somehow every major AI company manages to be international.
If specific provisions in specific bills create a greater burden than their benefit, pass a federal bill unifying those specific provisions.
Every frontier state bill that has been passed has already had clauses allowing for that kind of consolidation.
The genius of federalism is that the states can move faster than the federal government.
Does anyone actually believe AI moves slower than Congress?
If not, then why not let the faster level of government try things?
Any advocacy to ban states from legislating in the future on AI (anti-democracy clauses) should be condemned.

A patchwork of state laws, despite having become a bit of a meme, is genuinely a risk, is a reasonably common failure mode of American federalism, and is something worth being wary of, even if that wariness doesn’t translate to anything like “blanket opposition to all state legislation.”

Three related but distinct concepts keep being combined around federal & state AI regulation/preemption.
Conflict clause: federal law trumps state law where they directly conflict. This doesn't need to be written into law; it always applies.
Override clause: federal law explicitly overrides some related state laws. This is often appropriate: states are the laboratories of democracy, and as we learn which policies work we can take them national. As the author of the RAISE Act, I would happily trade it for a strong federal law. (This often manifests as Congress setting a floor, not a ceiling.)
Anti-democracy clauses: Congress bans states from enforcing any (new) laws in a certain area. Should be a red line. There are VERY few cases where this makes sense. One necessary condition for this to be considered is that the topic area moves slower than Congress itself; otherwise you should not cut off state governments, which generally move much faster than the feds.
These are three distinct concepts. And anti-democracy clauses should be universally panned.

It’s time to rein in the AI arms race. Every day, frightening new headlines make clear that we can’t trust Big Tech to regulate themselves.
Today, I'm introducing a new bill to put strict safety and transparency requirements on the biggest AI companies: the RAISE Act 2.0.

For everyone wondering whether the public can have any say in determining how AI impacts us, New York again has an answer: Absolutely.
New York now has the strongest law in the country protecting children from predatory AI algorithms, raising the floor yet again when it comes ion, and doing so despite aggressive industry opposition.
Thanks to @GovKathyHochul for signing the AI Chatbot bill into law, @SenGonzalezNY for her partnership and to Maria Raine, who took the worst loss a parent can imagine and turned it into a fight to protect other people’s kids.
New York’s leadership is a reminder to the rest of the country that AI happening to us — not for us — is not an inevitability. It’s a choice.

When we debated my Stop Deepfakes Act on the floor of the NY Assembly, I mentioned that Slovakia had recently become the first country whose federal election was arguably swung by a deepfake.
Hopefully the US doesn't become the second.
We should sign my Stop Deepfakes Act into law in NY and pass a federal one ASAP.

One of the targets is Sherrod Brown, who is running against Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio.
Another target is James Talarico, who is running against Republican Ken Paxton for a Senate seat in Texas.

Software already exists that can prove whether content is real, generated by AI, and/or how it was edited.
However, it has to be used by the creator.
If that software were the default on every phone/camera, then we've solved the problem of deepfakes, because the vast majority of content would be tagged, and anything that wasn't would be immediately suspicious.
My bill in NY would ensure this data is preserved and displayed where creators turn it on. Combined with laws in California that make the software available on all devices by 2028 would make deepfakes like this a problem of the past.

Anthropic's IPO paperwork lists the RAISE Act (and SB53) as a material risk twice.
So it feels like the right time to add some context.
Industry trade associations lobbied against the RAISE Act by saying it would cost them...one whole additional employee.
Compared to some of sing on all of us, that seems a small price.
What’s more expensive? One employee or being the company that caused a massive crisis?

(Also, this is @DanielDidech_IL and @MaryforIL erasure - SB315 is great!)
