Not anti-AI. Pro-accountable AI.
Fear cannot be America’s AI strategy. Neither can blind acceleration. Elections are how a country chooses.
There is a loud argument in American life that treats artificial intelligence as either salvation or extinction, and then demands that everyone pick a side. That argument is useful to people who want to shut the other side up. It is not useful to a country that has to govern—or to voters who have to hire a Congress.
AI Accountability Super PAC is not an anti-AI committee. We believe advanced AI can produce extraordinary benefits for humanity: prosperity, discovery, stronger national security, wider opportunity. We also believe increasingly capable technology requires increasingly serious responsibility, and that voters should fire people who will not accept it.
Falling behind is not a safety strategy. A pause that only America honors is a gift to every rival that will not pause. Criminalizing research is not a substitute for evaluation, biosecurity, cybersecurity, or human control of high-stakes decisions.
The opposite error is just as real. Public safety should not become collateral damage in a race for market share. AI cannot become an excuse for eliminating responsibility. We should learn from previous technological revolutions rather than repeat their mistakes after the damage is done.
Elect leaders who will keep powerful AI accountable. That is the independent campaign we are running.
