New York Assemblymember Alex Bores launches a $30 million effort, 'Who Decides,' to unite Democrats around regulating AI, aiming for a 2028 slate of candidates that run on a shared AI safety agenda; the group’s exact structure and fundraising model are unclear, but it pledges to reject money from frontier AI executives.
