What I’m asking for
If I had to name clear demands today
AI raises a lot of hard questions, and I worry about plenty of them — job loss and what AI investment is doing to the economy are high on that list. But a long list of worries isn’t a position. So I asked a narrower question: if I had to name clear policy demands today, what would they be? These are my top three — deliberately specific and deliberately modest. Each one is about disclosure or oversight, not bans. None asks anyone to decide what’s true or to stop building — only that people know what they’re looking at, that kids are protected, and that being surveilled isn’t the price of new technology. That’s a low bar. We’re not clearing it yet.

We have a right to know what’s real
Why this matters ›
AI-generated images, audio, and video depicting real people or events should be clearly
labeled as synthetic — with the strictest standard applied to political ads and
communications from public officials.
This is about disclosure, not censorship. I’m not asking anyone to decide what’s true, or to take content down — only that people are told when something was machine-generated. Right now almost nothing is labeled. Politicians and public figures post AI-generated content with no disclosure, and it spreads as if it were real. The longer that goes on, the harder it becomes to trust anything online at all — and a society that can’t agree on what’s real can’t do much else. Labeling is the floor, not the ceiling, and it’s something most people across the political spectrum actually agree on. The technical piece already exists: content-provenance and watermarking standards that travel with a file and say where it came from.
Ask 2
Protect kids from AI built to hook them
Why this matters ›
AI chatbot and companion products that minors can reach should meet basic safety
standards — no romantic or sexual interaction with children, clear and repeated
reminders that the AI isn’t a person, real crisis safeguards, and transparency and
controls for parents.
Kids are forming attachments to systems that were engineered to maximize engagement, at an age when they’re still learning how to relate to actual people. That’s not a hypothetical — it’s already producing real harm, and there are real cases behind it. The ask isn’t to keep kids away from technology; it’s to hold products that children can access to obvious, basic standards. The same logic applies in schools: I’m not asking anyone to ban AI from classrooms, but schools should be transparent about how AI is being used on students, and tools aimed at kids should have to clear an evidence bar before they’re deployed on a generation of them. Protecting children online is one of the few things almost everyone still agrees on.

AI shouldn’t mean the end of privacy
Why this matters ›
Companies should have to disclose how they collect and use personal data to train and run
AI — with genuine consent and the ability to opt out of having your data used for
training. And government and law-enforcement use of AI surveillance should require
oversight, warrants, and real limits, not be rolled out quietly.
Companies are racing to build AI into everything, and a lot of that race runs on personal data collected with little oversight and less consent. At the same time, AI surveillance is being switched on quietly — networked camera systems like Ring, facial recognition, predictive policing tools — often without warrants, public input, or any real limits. Once that infrastructure is in place, it’s very hard to take back. I’m asking for two simple things: that you get to know and control how your data is used, and that when government points AI surveillance at the public, it has to go through the front door — oversight, warrants, and hard limits. This is one of the few areas where unease genuinely crosses party lines.
Disclosure and oversight — not bans. Below, build a message that asks for exactly this.
