AI Regulation Philosophy

A candidate's general stance on regulating AI systems.

Believes that the question is whether the people or billionaires get to shape how AI is used. Wants indidivuals to have autonomy over how their data is utilized and wants workers to have a seat at the table where AI policies are being discussed.

Jobs and Workforce Disruption

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

SupportMedium

According to his interview on This Is Reno, Fonken advocates for strict federal regulation of AI to protect jobs, federally backed reskilling and safety nets for displaced workers, and funding public infrastructure by taxing the ultra-wealthy.
