Inside Democrats’ 2028 brainstorm on AI safety
Several prominent Democratic figures, including JB Pritzker, Rahm Emanuel, Cory Booker, and Ro Khanna, met with AI safety advocates in San Francisco in what appears to be early-stage political positioning around artificial intelligence policy ahead of 2028.
Why this matters: Politicians are starting to map out what AI safety means as a campaign issue. That matters because how they frame it now shapes what gets regulated, what gets ignored, and who gets a seat at the table. AI safety advocates have specific priorities. So do tech companies. Those two groups do not always want the same things. What comes out of these conversations will likely look very different from what went in.
