AI Regulation Philosophy

A candidate's general stance on regulating AI systems.

Co-authored the bipartisan Great American Artificial Intelligence Act with Rep. Jay Obernolte to impose safety requirements on frontier AI developers, saying "the choice isn't between regulation and innovation."

Jobs and Workforce Disruption

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

Citing how automation "hollowed out" former mill towns in her district, said she won't "allow inaction that will literally allow the largest AI companies to fill the void" for workers displaced by the technology.

AI Preemption

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

Introduced the Great American Artificial Intelligence Act preempting state AI development laws for three years; defended the approach as necessary to "protect the public from catastrophic risks without slowing the innovation that keeps America competitive."
