The Alliance for Secure AI has been an enthusiastic supporter of the GUARD Act since its introduction, and we applaud the Senate Judiciary Committee’s swift, unanimous vote to send it to the Senate floor. Sen. Hawley said today that no amount of profit warrants the destruction of American families – and we agree.
