Democrats weigh AI regulation as a midterm campaign issue
Overview
Democratic strategists Jesse Lehrich and Rob Flaherty argue that AI regulation could help Democrats in the November midterms.
Polls predict Democrats could flip at least one chamber of Congress, which would give them control of committees to scrutinize AI companies. Lehrich says AI is "a hundred percent ready for the taking."
Flaherty's new super PAC, Tomorrow Together, has launched a $4 million ad campaign in battleground House races.
