US Politicians Sign AI Pact for Data Center and AI Safety

more than 15 us politicians have signed the ai pact, a set of five promises around regulating data centers and ai. the pact includes advocating for mandatory safety reviews for ai models, supporting policies that would create an ai dividend for workers, and ensuring that consumers and companies can sue over harms caused by models. the initiative is funded by a progressive political action committee and is an offshoot of the political integrity project. the signers, mostly democrats, include candidates who have built their campaigns around opposition to data centers and big tech. the pact does not call for an explicit moratorium on data centers but aims to support policies that would ban tax breaks, backroom deals, and excessive energy usage for data centers.
