Employees from the major AI companies continue to raise the alarm about the critical risks their employers are ignoring. This is why we can’t let a few billionaire CEOs make all the decisions about our futures. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/t...

This should go without saying, but any company that claims the power to eradicate humanity obviously needs government scrutiny and regulation. We can hold these companies accountable, but we have to act together. www.cnn.com/2026/09/29/t...

With this much at stake, do we want these people making all the decisions about the future of AI? Or do we want to have a say? Join us at whodecides.org if you agree that the American people deserve a voice — we’re fighting to give everyone a seat at the table.

After reports broke that OpenAI agents meddled with federal government websites without the company’s knowledge, they announced they’re pausing training of their latest model. As incidents continue to pile up in number and severity, inaction from our government becomes more and more costly.

Nearly 9 in 10 Americans say they’re more worried than excited about the possibility of AI becoming smarter than humans. People are calling for regulation, and we need leaders who will answer that call.

A new investigation just revealed that Donald Trump killed an AI transparency rule just a few months after a $25 million donation from Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI. The president should be protecting Americans from the dangers of AI, not doing the bidding of the industry.

Last night, a handful of billionaire CEOs were guests of honor at Trump’s lavish state dinner at the White House. And we expect him to hold them accountable? This is exactly why we started Who Decides — these people should not be deciding our futures without input from the American people.

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.

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.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman presents a frightening future if we don’t rein in AI development. All the major AI companies are saying the same thing, but they’re the ones who got us into this mess. So how can we trust them to get us out of it?

1. Members of Congress should not just be asking AI companies to “do the right thing” — because we know they won’t.

If every AI company is telling us that AI is a risk to humanity, then we need to take them seriously. But at the same time, we can’t let the same CEOs giving these warnings be the sole arbiters of what comes next. Congress needs to act.

@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.

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.

Our work has four pillars: 1. People need a say 2. The questions are still open 3. A shared floor is political power 4. Stronger policies on AI is winning politics Learn more at whodecides.org.

Our Message Pillars

Pillar 1: The People Need a Say

The defining question is not only how AI impacts our lives. It’s who decides how it’s used, who carries the risks, who pays the costs, and who benefits.

Pillar 2: The Questions are Still Open

The Democratic Party’s positions are not fixed: Trusted organizations can still shape what questions candidates are asked and what answers earn support. But the AI industry is trying to close that window — fast.

Pillar 3: A Share Floor is Political Power

Different constituencies need a strong common starting point to keep the AI industry from dividing them issue by issue. A baseline around AI safety keeps candidates from having to choose between sounding reasonable and sounding strong.

Pillar 4: Stronger Policies on AI is Winning Politics

Voters want more protection than the government is providing. Clear positions can earn trust, attention, and volunteers even against enormous AI industry spending. Republicans will try to claim the popular side of this, while voting the other way. Democrats must exploit their bad faith as a political liability.

What’s at stake if we continue without regulating AI? We could see devastating cyberattacks, financial risks, deadly viruses, and compounding vulnerabilities that will make us all less safe. If we let a few Silicon Valley billionaires continue down this path unchecked, we’ll lose control of AI.

Donald Trump wants us to think that threats to humanity posed by AI are just a hoax. He’s wrong. These risks are not science fiction; AI is already changing our jobs, our kids’ lives, and our safety. Without strong regulation and input from the American people, these problems will get worse for us.

Too many of our leaders, like Donald Trump, don’t understand or feel the urgency of the threats that AI poses to our livelihoods and our lives. The American people don't want Trump — or a few Silicon Valley billionaires — to decide the future of AI for them. They want a say in what happens next.

We asked Americans how they feel about AI, and it's clear that people want stronger regulations over faster development. But which party will seize that opportunity?

86% of Americans say lack of AI regulation is a bigger problem than AI development moving too slowly.

In order to build a safer world for all of us, we have to start somewhere. We can’t afford to get into another arms race. The American people want us to slow down the pace of AI to keep everyone safe, and that means collaborating with China over a shared interest, instead of a race to the bottom.

Right now, President Trump is working fist-in-glove with the CEOs of the most valuable companies on Earth, who want nothing but unlimited power and limitless profits. Real people are tired of not having a say.

AI is changing every aspect of our lives, and a handful of companies are trying to set the terms for all of us. We're starting Who Decides to help the organizations that Democrats trust respond to AI concerns and unite around a common goal of keeping people safe from AI’s potential harms.

What We Will Do:

1 - Work nationally and build coalitions across 11 early-primary and swing states.

2 - Help the organizations Americans already trust develop agendas they own, then identify a shared floor on AI safety, jobs, kids safety, accountability, and other issues.

3 - Carry those priorities into candidate questionnaires, forums, endorsements, and governing agendas.
