Julie Gonzales

AI Regulation Philosophy

A candidate's general stance on regulating AI systems.

Data privacy protections, transparency around automated decision-making, human review, accountability for discriminatory systems, and enforceable protections against workplace surveillance and algorithmic management.

Jobs and Workforce Disruption

Positions on AI-driven job displacement, reskilling programs, unemployment policy, and tax policy for distributing AI-driven wealth.

Gonzales stated that corporations profiting from automation should be required to support displaced workers with retraining, income support, and equivalent placement opportunities. She has championed enforceable protections against workplace surveillance and algorithmic management.

AI Preemption

Stance on federal preemption of state AI laws, states' rights to regulate AI, and the patchwork of local vs. national regulatory approaches.

Gonzales said "I'm proud that Colorado took action because Congress failed to act. We need congressional action in order to avoid a patchwork of states crafting their own policies and regulations." This suggests she favors federal standards but her record as a state AI legislator complicates a simple pro-preemption reading.
