Potential Democratic Candidates Race to Respond to AI Threat Amid Trump’s Dismissals
Governors and senators are proposing oversight, kill switches and worker aid as Pew polling shows 70% of adults expect AI-related job losses.
- On Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to mandate "kill switches" for AI systems, following Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's recent speech calling for federal rules to "prioritize safety above all else."
- Republican nominee Mike Rogers called for an AI slowdown to allow the government to implement stricter "protocols and guardrails," responding to industry warnings about the potentially catastrophic threat posed by rogue agents.

- While Trump dismissed AI warnings as a "HOAX," claiming he is "the only control or guardrails" needed, Democrats continue pushing for national leadership with Newsom asserting that "Washington, D.C. needs to do its job."
- With about 7 in 10 U.S. adults expecting job losses over the next 20 years, potential 2028 contender Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff argues that current leadership sleepwalks into a technological revolution while dismantling necessary safety precautions.
