iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Donald Trump says self-regulation is enough, but these companies are not acting in our best interests. We need strong government regulation to protect people from the looming threats to our lives and livelihoods.

When our president invites the AI industry CEOs as guests of honor for a lavish state dinner, does that signal that he’s going to hold them responsible? At @whodecidesai.bsky.social, we don’t think so. We need the 2028 Democratic nominee for president to be serious about taking on AI safety risks.

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 29/09/2026

Without regulation, AI models will continue to get more intelligent and autonomous rapidly — putting us all at risk. But it’s not too late to act. @whodecidesai.bsky.social is fighting to give Americans a seat at the table as we make these critical decisions about the future of humanity.

During my campaign for Congress, the AI industry declared me their number one target in the country because I called for regulation of AI. I’m proud of the campaign we ran and the movement we’ve built together — and we’re not backing down.

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

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 If your bill is too specific and focused, it could be out of date by the time it becomes a law.

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

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.

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.

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 25/09/2026

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 23/09/2026

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

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.

@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.

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

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.

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 17/09/2026

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.

The American people deserve a say in AI. It shouldn't be left to five billionaire CEOs in a backroom. If we are going to get this right, we need everyone's help. Anna Myers and I are teaming up to give the mic back to the American people.

As AI gets more powerful and better at deceiving even its own creators, we need to make sure everyone has a say in how this technology gets developed and gets deployed.

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 13/09/2026

We don't let banks, pharma, or airlines regulate themselves, so why should we trust AI companies to make decisions about safety when they are economically incentivized to move as fast as possible? We need government to catch up and take action on AI safety policies.

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 13/09/2026

AI companies can say publicly that they care about safety, but if they’re spending millions to water down regulations and defeat pro-AI safety candidates, then it’s just lip service.

The Hugging Face hacking incident shows that AI is moving faster than humans are able to understand on our own. But as AI models get more advanced, using the same models involved in deceiving humans to police themselves will cause real problems.

152

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 08/09/2026

In cybersecurity, AI helps hackers, but it also helps you patch your software faster. The bio risk is different: AI can help someone design millions of new viruses, but you can't patch your own DNA overnight. This is exactly why we need stronger guardrails nationwide.

Did OpenAI stonewall Congress while sharing details with the EU? Today, the European Commission confirmed that OpenAI sent them a report on the hijacking of the German wiki. They didn't say when that report was sent, but the deadline to file in compliance with the EU AI Act ran out around July 6.

Right now, Americans have almost no voice in how AI is developed or deployed. That needs to change. From data centers to hacking incidents, AI is already affecting our lives, and we all deserve a say in what comes next.

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 02/09/2026

This isn’t some far-off, science-fiction risk. Researchers have already shown how AI could make it easier to create a pathogen capable of starting a pandemic. Those capabilities are only getting more powerful and harder to control.

We need federal legislation around data centers to ensure information is public, lower energy bills and modernize grids, and monitor impacts on water and noise pollution. That’s how you can shape competition, and that’s how you deliver benefits for people.

0133

Alex Bores @alexbores.nyc · 01/09/2026

Tech companies don’t get to race ahead while real people deal with the consequences. If they want to build data centers, local residents deserve a say — and projects should deliver real benefits for workers, the energy grid, and the people who live there.
