Valerie Foushee

U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 4th congressional district; sponsor of the Protecting Consumers from Deceptive AI Act

I firmly object to any effort by the Administration to strong-arm AI companies into enabling mass surveillance or developing weapons that operate without meaningful human control. These uses threaten civil liberties and human rights at home and around the world, and they raise profound moral and constitutional concerns. The United States must lead in responsible AI, not in abandoning safeguards or automating life-and-death decisions.
