Dick Spotswood: Congressional candidates weigh in on AI regulation
Congressional candidates in a Marin County race have publicly shared their positions on how the federal government should regulate artificial intelligence, according to a column by Dick Spotswood in the Marin Independent Journal.
Why this matters: Local congressional races rarely get attention for tech policy, but AI regulation is decided in Congress, not Silicon Valley. How candidates answer this question tells you a lot about who they think deserves protection — users, workers, or the companies building the tools. If voters care about how AI affects their privacy, their jobs, or their civil rights, this is the kind of race worth paying attention to before the primary, not after.
