neither of the corporate offerings, that’s for sure.
My money is on neither party since they are both beholden to the donor class.
It’s incredible that both parties have decided to be on the wrong side of an 80-20 issue.
Certainly not the party who wants to ban all AI regulation for the next 10 years on a federal level…
That will come from outside the existing political parties.
Both of the existing political parties are in the pockets of the billionaires and Wall Street, and the irrational investments in AI that has no ROI are the only thing dragging the market up.
The only way these trillions of dollars return on investment is if they are able to lay off 50+% of the American workforce.
But then nobody is left to buy their crap, and starving peasants have a long history of picking up torches and pitchforks and dragging the lords on the hill out of their manors. That’s just a historical fact.
Every CEO and board is only thinking about the layoff they want and not considering the ramifications of that same conversation happening in every executive presentation in the nation.
$omething tell$ me neither $ide will.
But we all know who will be worse.
There is no anti-ai movement coming.
Absolute silliness.
r/usdefaultism anyone?
And given i’m from EU, i’m sure there can be definite guardrails to be made here.
None because the tech donors won’t allow it
Neither. The tech-bro industry has all the money, and access to all the methods of distribution of attention. Nobody wants to piss them off, and a grassroots populist movement like that will face impossible challenges going at AI head-on like that.
Folks hoping for the bubble to burst are just cheering on the hastening of the consolidation of resources and models so that the biggest players will have even more leverage with world governments.
Candidates will focus on individual issues that are important to opponents to AI adoption. If you want to curb water and power usage, candidates should try to create incentives to make data-centers more efficient and use renewable resources. If you want to protect people from deceptive behavior, propose stronger anti-deep-fake laws, leverage trade-imbalances to bring China to sign-on to a global framework for ethical AI use.
Small-government types will opt for the stick method where companies that are inefficient are punished. That approach will have an outsized effect on smaller companies. Big-government types will opt for the carrot method where companies are given financial incentives to become more efficient. This costs more money.
A good model would be to encourage a sort-of federation of AI companies whereby you pay more into the pool of incentives if you use more resources to run your models; a bit like cap-and-trade for carbon, which worked really well until the Trump administration gutted the program.
Neither one. Dems are controlled by the super rich, it cannot be denied with them as opposition we are fated to a fascist plutocratic state that will degenerate and destroy everything we hold dear.
Serena Butler will lead us in the Butlerian Jihad
The party of Fascism? Or the party of spineless corporate yes-men?
The anti ai movement isn’t real, it just a very loud and obnoxious online movement. Egged on by writers who want clicks on their articles
How about a nuance AI policy party?
Why why why does this have to be another “party issue”? Why does every single thing that affects our lives have to be a thing that’s decided by undecided or Independent voters? Why can’t we just all agree that AI fucking sucks, it’s a parasite on our electrical infrastructure, it is making all our other gadgets we use more expensive, it’s stealing our jobs, and it’s making us dumber.
r/technology should be renamed to r/anti-tech
Devil’s advocate, even if this R&D doesn’t happen here in the US, it will happen elsewhere. Do we want another nation with objectively worse ideals to be at the forefront? Companies will just use AI models and services from that nation’s private sector.
To answer this question, all you need to do is look up the career of Biden-era FTC commissioner Lina Khan (who is now on Mamdani’s transition team). She was an absolute force against the same big tech monopolies that are now the AI giants. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/15/mamdani-lina-khan-transition-team-private-equity.
There is a reason all the tech douches came to bend the knee at Trump’s inauguration after many of them helped him get there. They cannot stand to be told no or have a check on their power and they are delusional about the impacts that getting their own way unfettered will have on the wider economy.
And now Trump is saying no one else can regulate them either at the state level. If an anti-A.I. movement is coming, the hubris of the Trump-Big Tech alliance has to be brought to heel as task #1.
Why does it need to be party based? Shouldn’t it just be candidate based? People can have mixed political differences across parties.
China would be thrilled if the west hands them the AI crown.
good fucking luck. both parties are hypercapitalist and bend the knee to the rich.
this is generally the one thing they agree on
and no im not a both sides person, human rights are necessary, but this particular one really is both sides
The Luddite Party?
It’ll turn from a concerned group into a lunatic fringe stoked by grifters, like the healthy living crowd. Nothing wrong with healthy living per se, but there’s profit in selling junk supplements and telling everyone not to vaccinate their kids.
Why does everything have to be a party?
Fuck off stop making everything partisan, this is the first issue in a long time I’ve seen that isn’t party lined, leave it
We ban AI, that’s the end. You guys believe that the ruling class of the world is going to stop? They’ll take it underground.
There are zero scenarios where AI doesn’t keep moving forward. Illegal or not.
Do you want AI advancing [mostly] in the public, or entirely behind closed doors?
This bubble can’t burst fast enough.
Very soon, being opposed to AI will be labelled as a “woke” position
The speed act is bipartisan
No, that’s bullshit. Nothing is coming.
Not the Chinese Communist Party, that’s for sure. They would be ok if Americans slow down their AI development.
It’s hilarious how there are some deluded folk in the comments bleating and squealing that the Democrats will lead this charge.
Both the Democratic and Republican elites are entirely in the pocket of Big AI / Tech. Anyone who thinks that the Democratic Party will be any different on this than the Republicans is hilariously naïve. The only way the Democrats would become anti-AI excess is if all the feckless centrist weirdos that the DNC supports were primaried out.
Neither. Both are owned by corporations
There are anti fossil fuels, anti private health insurance , anti low wage movements in the country too. Hows that going in the capitalist hellhole „democracy“?
We dont need anti ai. We need ai legislation that prevents consumer harm and produces a better and more robust and healthy ai
I love how luddites are coming back over this, but for good reason this time.
Any large country thats “anti-ai” has 0 interest in being long term competitive. The military and technological implications alone AI has can fundamentally change how the world is operated. Why would any serious party be against that.
It seems nonpartisan since most AI has poor accuracy and hurts more people than it helps.
Republicans will go all in because of money and corruption. Democrats will be publicly against it, but privately for it because of money and corruption.
Anti-AI is a no-win stance, just like anti-computer used to be.
Im not against AI, it just needs to benefit everyone. These tech companies didnt create all the data these algorithms use. Its our data and we made it. All of us. We should all own a peice of it. If these AI algorithms are the gun, then our data is the ammo.
AI should be owned as to fund general UBI.
Neither party will lead it, under current lobbying conditions. Consumers will lead it.
It doesn’t need leading. Once the insane amount of funding dries up and there’s less distortion of markets it’ll find its level.
AI haters are just as awful as AI bros and promoting the polarisation into those camps is unhelpful.
I hate AI based on the issues I’ve had with it so far.
Any party that goes against Silicon Valley loses, as shown in 2024. They control social media where Americans get their „news“, they turned on Joe Biden and went all in on Trump as punishment for Biden wanting them to do something about the lies and propaganda they were spreading about COVID.
Welcome to the corporatocracy, where money is speech and oligarchs have a megaphone that makes sure only their speech gets heard.
The progressives, not that the powers that be ever listen to us.
Neither, with socialist Dems being the only ones who might attempt local level reforms or safeguards.
In 10 years, all this anti-AI fearmongering is going to be as laughable as the anti-computer fearmongering of the 80s.
Remind me! 10 years
