To Every Member of Congress
You must oppose legislation that would freeze the enforcement of AI safeguards passed by state and local lawmakers.
It is critical that states retain the ability to address the rise of online harms and the impacts of AI on our communities. In an increasingly fraught digital environment, young people are facing new threats online, seniors are targeted by the emergence of AI-generated scams, and workers and creators face new challenges in an AI-integrated economy. Over the next decade, AI will raise some of the most important public policy questions of our time. Now is not the time for a moratorium on AI policymaking.
Please reject legislation that preempts state AI laws. Erasing AI safeguards would halt critical protections, harm affected communities, and freeze policy innovation in developing the best practices for AI governance at a time when experimentation is vital.
