It’s often easier to talk about problems than solutions. Here are four concrete things we can do to regulate AI: 1. Require AI companies to disclose safety incidents 2. Require monitoring to be turned on for all deployments 3. Require data retention 4. Verify chips are in authorized locations

But if your bill is too broad and flexible in application, it’s much harder to enforce compliance. The obvious answer is to put forward legislation that finds a middle ground, but it’s easier said than done.

At UNESCO's Digital Learning Week in Paris, I spoke about the challenges and trade-offs when writing AI safety legislation. If your bill is too specific and focused, it could be out of date by the time it becomes a law.

OpenAI blatantly ignored Congress when asked to disclose additional AI hacking incidents after the Hugging Face hack. What else are they hiding? The American people deserve to know the truth.

No matter their concerns, Americans want a voice in the development and regulation of AI to ensure technological advancements are beneficial, not harmful.

042

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 26/09/2026

Can AI be taught ethical behavior to help regulate its own actions, or will it always ignore boundaries to achieve its tasks? This is not an easy question to answer, but one thing is certain: we’re not ready to answer it yet.

253

But that doesn’t mean we give up — that’s exactly what the opposition wants us to do. It’s time to take the fight to these Silicon Valley billionaires and build a nationwide movement around AI safety. That’s why we started @whodecidesai.bsky.social.

061

I’m proud to have led the charge on AI legislation here in New York, along with so many great partners. It certainly hasn’t been easy: the AI industry poured millions of dollars into our state to try and block any real progress against AI safety risks.

195

That’s why we’re working to identify Americans’ priorities around AI at @whodecidesai.bsky.social, and ensure those priorities make it into candidate questionnaires, forums, and governing agendas.

021

By Election Day in 2028, our goal is that AI safety is a unifying issue in the Democratic Party, rather than a dividing one.

It was great to talk with @chrislhayes.bsky.social about the serious AI security breaches this summer, and how we need to respond. The fact that OpenAI didn’t even know that its AI agents were responsible for the Hugging Face hack shows the massive lack of oversight within the industry.

043

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 24/09/2026

Just finished up a week of productive conversations around the future of AI at the UN. Common themes: the threats we face are real, urgent, and solvable - but only if we work together and governments take action.

0156

That’s why @whodecidesai.bsky.social is bringing people together to build a shared baseline on AI safety, and make sure candidates and officials answer to it.

021

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 24/09/2026

The RAISE Act is just the beginning — Americans are demanding more oversight and regulation of AI. We know the AI industry will try to make this law the ceiling of what’s possible. We also know that right now, politicians in Washington are trying to stop states from ever regulating AI again.

Protecting kids from AI safety risks is not a political issue. Thanks for having me on, @karaswisher.bsky.social.

194

We’re setting the standard for other states to follow and demonstrating that it’s possible to pass AI safety legislation despite industry opposition.

021

The RAISE Act will hold large frontier AI developers in New York accountable, thanks to implementation by @governor.ny.gov and enforcement by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social.

153

Flash forward to 2026, and just in the past few months, we’ve seen numerous serious safety incidents from basically every major AI company.

042

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 22/09/2026

When @agounardes.bsky.social and I introduced the RAISE Act in 2025, the AI industry reacted fast — saying it was unnecessary, and we should trust these companies to regulate themselves.

151

The AI industry will always try to split our coalition. That’s why @whodecidesai.bsky.social focuses on bringing people together around a unified baseline for AI safety.

020

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 22/09/2026

At the A-I Policy Forum’s Politics of AI event, I spoke about the challenges of passing the RAISE Act here in New York. The opposition used scare tactics and blatant lies to try to block this legislation, and we’ve seen that exact same playbook against regulation in other states.

240

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 22/09/2026

@whodecidesai.bsky.social polled Americans about AI safety risks because we can’t let the industry tell us what the problems are, and give us their own solutions. We need independent oversight and regulation, and we need leaders who will listen to voters’ concerns.

"We don't need to choose just one sub-issue within AI, the same way we don't have to choose one sub-issue within the economy." NY Assemblymember @alexbores.nyc makes the case to @davidsirota.com for Democrats working every angle of AI regulation at once.

People feel like AI is happening to them, not with them or for them. It’s time to change that and give everyone a voice in what happens next.

032

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 21/09/2026

@futureoflife.org’s Pro-Human Assembly brought together leaders from across the political spectrum and Americans from all walks of life under one shared goal: to rein in AI before it’s too late.

153

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 19/09/2026

@whodecidesai.bsky.social is ready to take on those same fights, because the American people want a say in the future of AI.

030

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 19/09/2026

When you build strong coalitions of people—real people—concerned about AI risks and who want a say, we can stand up to lobbyists and powerful interests. And that's what we managed to do with the RAISE Act in New York.

197

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 18/09/2026

At @futureoflife.org’s Pro-Human Assembly, we announced @whodecidesai.bsky.social — a new organization in partnership with so many other leaders who are concerned about the rapid advances in AI and want lawmakers to act to bring people into the fold.

Who Decides | People should have a say in AI

AI is already changing our jobs, our kids' lives, our bills, and our safety. Who Decides is building the public and political power to put people back in the room.

141

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 18/09/2026

We can’t let them proceed unchecked. Democrats must organize the public's concern while the questions are still open, and enter 2028 on the front foot.

120

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 18/09/2026

Our opponents—a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires—are already highly organized, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to lobby state governments and the White House, form PACs like Leading the Future, gather voter data, and circulate candidate questionnaires before races begin.

166

@whodecidesai.bsky.social's poll showed that a majority of people are feeling the impacts of AI and want a say — but don’t feel they currently have a voice. That’s why we need to build a baseline on AI safety that our leaders have to listen to and answer to.

030

AI companies are betting that the issue of AI regulation is too complicated for everyday Americans to be allowed to have a say in. But AI raises much bigger questions about our values and our society.

172

@whodecidesai.bsky.social is building the coalitions Democrats need to find a unified baseline on AI safety and protect us all from the serious risks AI poses.

010

It was great to speak about the future of AI, the need to give Americans a voice, and the urgency of taking action at A-I Policy Forum’s The Politics of AI event.
