A new initiative called Who Decides has emerged from a New York state lawmaker who faced intense scrutiny from the AI industry after running for Congress with a strong focus on regulating artificial intelligence. The project appears to be an extension of their long-standing advocacy for greater oversight and accountability in how AI systems are developed and deployed. Critics within the tech sector have previously framed their push for regulation as an attack on innovation, while supporters argue it’s necessary to prevent unchecked corporate influence over emerging technologies. The launch signals a renewed effort to shape public debate on who should control the future of AI—governments, companies, or the people affected by it.
‘Who Decides’ was launched by the New York state lawmaker who became one of the AI industry's chief targets when he ran for Congress on a platform focused on regulating the technology.
