As fears surrounding artificial intelligence escalate, Democratic candidates are recalibrating their strategies for the upcoming election cycle. Recent warnings indicate that voters are increasingly worried about the impact of AI on jobs and society, prompting Democrats to address these concerns with more urgency. Key figures like New York lawmaker Alex Bores are pushing for significant AI safety regulations and have launched a $30 million initiative aimed at regulating AI development. Additionally, a new Democratic PAC is emerging to accelerate AI policy and recruit experts in the field for political office. With data showing Democrats are now more anxious about AI than Republicans, the early 2028 campaign is becoming heavily influenced by the need to respond to this issue head-on.
