NEW YORK — Assemblymember Alex Bores is launching a $30 million political initiative intended to unite Democratic candidates around a common agenda for regulating artificial intelligence. The group, called Who Decides, is set to launch Tuesday after Bores gained national attention for challenging unchecked AI during an unsuccessful campaign for Congress this year. Its stated goal is for Democratic candidates at every level — from presidential and statewide races to local contests — to campaign on a shared AI safety platform by 2028. The organization says that agenda will address harms already linked to AI as well as the risks posed by increasingly powerful systems. Its launch materials warn that poorly controlled AI could disrupt the economy, democracy and public safety. Who Decides’ organizational status had not been disclosed. It was unclear whether the group would operate as a federal super PAC, a tax-exempt social-welfare nonprofit or another type of political organization. A donation link directs contributors to Givebutter, a fundraising platform used by nonprofit groups. The group says it will not accept corporate money or contributions from senior executives at frontier AI companies — firms developing the most advanced generative artificial intelligence systems. That pledge places the effort within a growing political debate over whether the companies building AI should help shape the rules governing it. Bores, a New York state lawmaker with a focus on technology policy, has used his office to pursue greater oversight of the industry. His congressional campaign made AI regulation a central issue and drew opposition from parts of the technology sector. The initiative’s proposed 2028 timeline gives Democrats time to develop policy positions before the next presidential election cycle. It also reflects a broader effort to move AI policy beyond specialized technology committees and into campaigns focused on jobs, elections, consumer protection and public safety.
