New grassroots group launches to push for AI safeguards in 2028 election

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Humans in Control (HIC) is a new cross-partisan grassroots organization established in January 2026 to advocate for AI safeguards, aiming to make the issue a significant part of the 2028 US presidential election. The organization focuses on principles such as AI assisting rather than replacing humans, accountability for AI-induced harm, and the imperative not to develop uncontrollable AI. HIC employs a "snowflake" organizing model to build a volunteer base and is actively seeking volunteers and donations to support its public education and political advocacy efforts. AI

IMPACT This initiative aims to increase political will for AI safety regulations, potentially influencing future AI development and deployment policies.
