"Generative AI is undoubtedly one of the most societally damaging innovations that humanity has ever created, and people do not understand the toll it will be taking on us,"
"This damage includes the fresh water supplies it is depleting, a media literacy crisis that has already gotten out of control in this country over recent years, and the degree to which children are leaning on AI for therapy, companionship, and more - at the cost of their critical thinking skills and cognitive development."
"I have no sympathy for AI, and no tolerance for what it has done to our population. It will only get worse if we do not get in the way as aggressively as possible,"
New York's 12th congressional district primary features a crowded field of millennial and Gen Z Democrats focusing on reining in the AI industry. The district includes wealthy, liberal neighborhoods such as the Upper West Side and Upper East Side and could produce an influential representative on AI policy. Cameron Kasky announced a campaign centered on confronting "AI oligarchs," citing generative AI's environmental strain, contribution to a media literacy crisis, and effects on children's cognitive development. Kasky plans to legislate environmental accountability for AI firms, prevent mass layoffs, and strengthen child-safety regulation. Alex Bores also supports industry restraints through the RAISE Act.
