Youth-led group Design It For Us unveiled its 2027 AI policy platform on Oct. 21, 2026. Co-founder Zamaan Qureshi is calling on Congress to pass an AI bill by the end of 2027, Ashley Gold reported for Semafor. Semafor also reported that Qureshi said the platform drew on feedback from more than 700 members across 40 states.
What the platform proposes
Under the group’s plan, regulators would have authority to block the largest AI companies from deploying dangerous models. The platform also calls for mandatory independent audits of those companies and for developers of advanced models to demonstrate risk mitigation before deployment. These are proposed powers and requirements, not rules already in force.
For chatbots, the platform proposes limits on processing young people’s chat logs, a ban on using chat logs for targeted advertising and a ban on training models with data from minors ages 13 to 17. It calls for chatbots to be safe by default. Where age checks are required, it proposes collecting as little data as possible and deleting it after use.
The plan also calls for prompt removal of harmful AI-generated intimate images and legal recourse for victims. On state regulation, it argues that federal law should set a minimum standard rather than prevent states from adopting stronger protections. Its six principles also address societal risks and preserving meaningful work as AI develops. Whether Congress takes up any of these proposals is separate from the group’s goal of a bill by the end of 2027.
