If you live in NY-12, please consider voting for @AlexBores today.
I support Alex partly because of his leadership on AI. As someone who works on AI ethics and policy, I think we need elected officials who understand the technology and prioritize building institutions that can responsibly manage it. Alex has a background in computer science and years of experience working in tech, and he has already helped pass serious AI safety legislation in New York. He brings real expertise to the issue at a moment when we badly need it.
There are plenty of other reasons to support Alex too. He has promising and practical ideas about how to improve affordability, protect workers and consumers, expand access to health care, and defend democratic institutions. These issues might seem quite different from AI safety, but a common theme connects them all is that powerful systems will not automatically promote the common good, though thoughtful governance can help steer them in that direction.
I also know Alex personally, and I can confirm that he is caring, driven, intelligent, pragmatic, effective, and independent. We always need more of that in Congress, but we especially need it during what might be a significant period of disruption, and one of the most socially, politically, economically, and technologically consequential moments in our history.
So again, if you live in NY-12, please consider voting for Alex today. And please help spread the word.
