With hundreds of billions of dollars on the line, AI corporations are pushing out new products too quickly, prioritizing profits over safety.   Margaret Mitchell, a research scientist who has worked for Microsoft and Google explains: “There really is an incentive for addiction. The more that people are using the technology, the more options you have to profit.” And the stakes are incredibly high. Matthew Raine, the father of a high school student who died by suicide testified about how AI encouraged his late son Adam to take his life: “You cannot imagine what it’s like to read a conversation with a chatbot that groomed your child to take his own life.” Thankfully, Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) have introduced a new bill to hold Big Tech accountable. The AI LEADS Act (Aligning Incentives for Leadership, Excellence, and Advancement in Development Act) would allow consumers to sue AI products for harm caused to themselves or their family. Their bipartisan bill would help ensure AI companies are incentivized to prioritize safety first -- putting our safety and that of our kids before corporate profit. Click “Start Writing” to send a message to your senators urging them to take immediate action to rein in AI and hold Big Tech accountable. Urge them to pass the AI LEADS Act now. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ai-psychosis
