This race started with AI megadonors pledging $10 million to stop me because they were afraid after I passed the strongest AI safety law in the country. Since then, everyone who supports AI regulation and safety — from teachers to tech workers, from AI safety advocates to progressive activists — has united to take the other side. This isn’t one company versus another, this is one ideology versus another: regulate the powerful and protect people, or don’t.

Governments should tax capital, not labor, as AI makes human work less central to the economy

Our tax code currently rewards companies for replacing workers — subsidizing AI investment while taxing the wages of the people being displaced. We need to reform that, reducing the ability to write off AI investment when it leads to less work.

Implement a universal basic income

That’s why I’ve proposed the AI Dividend: direct payments to Americans — funded through a token tax on AI usage and government equity stakes in frontier AI firms, designed to automatically kick in on clear economic triggers.

Introduce a universal basic wealth system that grants individuals a capital endowment at birth

At its core, the AI Dividend is simple: if AI dramatically increases productivity and concentrates wealth, the American people have a stake in those gains.
