Leading the Future — a super PAC funded by AI billionaires who openly admit their technology will displace millions of workers [1] — has committed more than $140 million this election cycle [2] to elect politicians who will ensure AI is never regulated.

They are buying silence on one of the most consequential issues of our time.

Without commonsense guardrails, AI will accelerate economic inequality, displace millions of workers without safety nets [1], drain local communities' water and power for data centers they never asked for [3], put children at risk with no legal framework to stop it [4], and embed discrimination into the algorithms that increasingly govern our access to jobs, housing, and opportunity [5].

These are not hypothetical harms. They are already happening — and a small handful of billionaires are spending $140 million to make sure no politician gets in the way [2].

A Leading the Future endorsement comes with an expectation: that you will look the other way as unaccountable billionaires reshape our economy, our democracy, and our daily lives — without rules, without accountability, and without democratic input. 69% of voters — across party lines — say AI development should not be left to a handful of tech companies [6]. Workers, parents, and communities across the country are already fighting back. They deserve a Congress that fights with them.

Signed,

The undersigned members of the public and their elected representatives
