Trump wants to give AI companies unchecked power to deceive and divide us. Tell the Senate to REJECT this Big Tech giveaway >>
John, Trump’s budget bill isn’t just an attack on our healthcare, housing, and education – it’s also a blank check for Big Tech to harm millions of people with zero accountability.
That’s because buried in the bill the House passed is a 10-year BAN on states protecting us from artificial intelligence (AI) [1] – wiping out the power for states and localities to pass commonsense protections against the many threats AI poses to consumers and our democracy. [2]
States have stepped up where Congress has failed – with over 20 states protecting voters from deceptive AI being used in our elections and others banning AI-based discrimination in healthcare and employment. [3]
But this bill would erase all of these hard-fought protections and tie states’ hands for the next decade – just as the real-world harms of unregulated AI are exploding.
John, if you agree we can’t let Big Tech write the rules, tell the Senate to REJECT Trump’s budget bill – which is a blatant giveaway to AI companies and the billionaire class >>
John, unchecked AI is already hurting real people – denying jobs, spreading lies, and exposing our private lives to unchecked corporate power.
The truth is, Congress has failed to meaningfully regulate AI. That’s why so many states have taken it into their own hands, passing commonsense protections with bipartisan – and even unanimous – support. [3]
This technology is constantly evolving, and a decade-long ban on regulation will leave states unable to respond to new developments and leave us ALL at the mercy of Big Tech corporations.
It’s just the latest example of what happens when corporations and billionaires get to write the rules – at all of our expense. This same budget bill also guts Medicaid, food assistance, education funding, and housing support – all to fund mass deportations and billionaire tax giveaways.
Trump and his Big Tech cronies are counting on us to miss the fine print and let this AI giveaway slide. Let’s prove them wrong and STOP this dangerous bill.
Take Action: Tell the Senate to protect us against the dangers AI poses – NOT give Big Tech unchecked power >>
