Congress Must Address Risks of Artificial Intelligence

As a society, we need to put strong guardrails on artificial intelligence and on the for-profit companies that are already locked in an AI arms race. But it’s no secret that elected officials are often too slow in keeping up with evolving technology — and that they are very much influenced by Big Tech.

That’s why it is essential for the American people to demand that Congress do more to grasp the risks of artificial intelligence — and to address those risks with comprehensive legislation and regulations that create guardrails to protect us — before it’s too late.


To Congress

No less an expert than Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton — the “godfather of AI” — has been sounding the alarm about the profound risks artificial intelligence poses. Those risks are so serious, and the systems are evolving so rapidly — in part because major corporations are already locked in an AI arms race — that there isn’t time for the government to do its usual bumbling with new technology. The American people need you to fully grasp the threat of AI and to pass comprehensive legislation to protect us.
