The Tech Oversight Project has provided Democrats in the new Congress with an action plan, calling the midterm elections the “first AI and tech accountability election.” According to Sina Finance, a memo from the tech watchdog urges Democrats to keep pressuring major technology companies and pursue legislation covering social media, artificial intelligence and data centers. The organization’s founder and CEO, Sacha Haworth, wrote in the memo on Wednesday: “The last thing Democrats should do right now is return to business as usual with Big Tech.” She urged Democrats who gained majorities in both chambers to promptly schedule oversight hearings with technology executives, appoint AI safety supporters to committee leadership positions, and pledge to reject donations from AI-focused super PACs. The agenda also includes comprehensive social media and AI safety legislation, new rules to control energy costs for data center developers, and limits on bailout subsidies for AI companies. The memo acknowledged that legislating in the new Congress would be difficult, but said some measures might win bipartisan support or force Republican lawmakers to cast public votes.
