Speaking at a private fundraiser, he urged Democrats to seize the moment—especially if they regain House control—to build policy and public dialogue around AI’s risks. He called for presidential candidates in 2028 to make AI a central issue with clear plans for safety and economic impact. The urgency isn’t just political: top AI researchers, including Anthropic’s CEO, warn of existential threats if progress isn’t responsibly managed—and even tech giants like OpenAI and xAI are now calling for a pause on developing more powerful models. The race to shape AI’s future is heating up across government, industry, and academia. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
