NEW REPORT: Artificial Power, our 2025 Landscape Report, is out. Today’s AI isn’t just being used by us, it’s being used on us. We urgently need to reclaim public power over the future trajectory of AI. Another path is possible. Read the report: ainowinstitute.org/2025-landscape

A 99–1 Senate vote against a 10-year AI regulation ban is a win for democracy and public safety. As @ambaonadventure told at @Bloomberg, we’ve seen what happens when tech regulation waits and we can’t afford to fall behind. Read more here: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Big Tech and Big Oil are trying to write the rules for AI at the expense of our well-being and safety. We won't stand for that. Today, a coalition of 90+ organizations launched the People's AI Action plan to contrast Trump's industry-backed AI executive orders.

The White House has a new AI Inaction Plan, which cedes the future of AI to Big Tech oligarchy interests at the expense of the rest of us. So we've teamed up with a group of truly excellent public interest organizations & experts to call for a People's AI Action Plan.

The Trump admin’s AI plan will prioritize industry profits. We need an AI policy that protects democracy, civil rights, and working people. That’s why we’ve joined 70+ orgs to support a People’s AI Action Plan — a vision that puts people before profit. 📍Read at:…

The White House released its AI Action plan this morning. We know where it came from: straight from Big Tech. But there’s another path available to us: we and over 100 other orgs called for a People’s AI Action Plan. Read it here: peoplesaiaction.com apnews.com/article/trump-…

AI Now Co-Executive Directors @sarahbmyers and @ambaonadventure sat down with @alixdunn at The Maybe to discuss the key takeaways from Artificial Power, @AINowInstitute's 2025 landscape report. Listen to the full podcast episode here: themaybe.org/podcast/making…

Big Tech’s power "is contingent on a public that is submissive [and] passive,” as @ambaonadventure says in Brian Bergstein’s @BostonGlobe piece. But that's changing. The public is reasserting power and demanding a say in our technological future. shorturl.at/i8cf5

The AI moratorium defeat is a win. Now it’s time to build enforceable protections. @ambaonadventure spoke to @grace_huckins on the road ahead: “It’s easier for all of us to agree on what we don’t want. The harder question is: What is it that we do want?" shorturl.at/1LPy6

.@Kabakab sat down with @nova_safo at @Marketplace to speak about algorithmic decision systems’ impact on people's everyday lives, like deciding whether someone qualifies for a bank loan or whether a rental application is approved. Full episode here: marketplace.org/episode/2025/0…

“[There’s] been this discourse that emerges at moments when AI is being more stringently regulated around there being an arms race between the US and China.” @sarahbmyers sat down with @moreperfectUS about Big Tech’s consolidation of power and more.

Many AI firms have coasted on the assurance they can experiment in the wild without worrying much about compliance with existing law - now we all agree a 10 year ban would be a wildly irresponsible move, can we get down to business (for real this time)?

Excellent primer on the mythologies that sustain Big Tech AI power with @sarahbmyers, @bcmerchant, and @ruchowdh on @MorePerfectUS.

.@ambaonadventure spoke to @emrosenberg: “It's close to impossible to play catch up and regulate the tech industry once these corrosive and harmful business models have already entrenched themselves. That's what we risk in this present moment." Read it: hardresetmedia.substack.com/p/the-gop-bill…
