Tell Congress: Don’t Erase AI Safeguards
Right now, Congress is considering legislation that would ban state AI safeguards, erasing critical protections that shield workers, children, and families from AI's emerging harms.
Some in Congress are ready to hand Big Tech sweeping immunity to AI laws in all fifty states. But the fight isn't over yet – your representative needs to hear from you.
States have already passed legislation addressing the real harms posed by AI: deepfakes, workplace surveillance, algorithmic discrimination. Tell your representative not to hand Big Tech a free pass at the expense of the American people.
Subject: Oppose Preemption of State AI Laws
I urge you to 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.
As your constituent, I urge you to 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.
Thank you,
