The US Science and Technology Surveillance Program provides a blueprint for action for Democrats in the new Congress. The agency called this midterm election the “First AI and Technology Accountability Election.” According to a memorandum, the technology supervisory agency called on the Democratic Party to continue to put pressure on large technology companies to introduce legislation related to social media, artificial intelligence, and data centers. Sacha Haworth, founder and CEO of the Technology Surveillance Program, said in a memo on Wednesday: “The last thing the Democratic Party should do right now is to go back to the usual pattern of letting big tech companies go.” She called on the Democratic Party, which has received a new majority of seats in the Senate and House of Representatives, to arrange for technology executives to attend supervisory hearings as soon as possible, arrange for supporters of AI safety to lead the committee, and promised to refuse donations from the Super Political Action Committee in the field of AI. The agenda also highlights: introducing a comprehensive social media and AI security law, adding new regulations to control energy costs for data center developers, and limiting bailouts and subsidies for AI companies. The memorandum acknowledges that the new congressional legislation is not too difficult, but it believes that some of the above measures have an opportunity to receive cross-party support, or force Republican lawmakers to vote publicly.
