一个由近40个劳工组织、进步主义团体、宗教组织以及人工智能安全组织组成的联盟，正在向国会提出关于人工智能立法的具体要求。他们警告立法者：任何违反这些要求的法案都将面临“强烈且组织有序的反对”。这封信的内容首先被Semafor媒体公开。
A coalition of nearly 40 labor, progressive, faith, and AI safety groups is laying out demands for AI legislation in Congress, warning lawmakers that any bill that crosses their red lines will face “active, mobilized opposition,” according to a letter shared first with Semafor. The letter is spearheaded by Guardrails Action, the nonprofit affiliated with Guardrails Alliance, the super PAC launched in June as a counterweight to pro-AI election groups.
该联盟由非营利组织“Guardrails Action”牵头，该组织隶属于“Guardrails Alliance”——这个超级政治行动委员会（super PAC）成立于6月，旨在制衡那些支持人工智能发展的政治团体。
The group is calling for “independent, transparent government oversight with real enforcement power” and “a mandate that addresses human impacts from safety to economic disruption.”
联盟要求政府建立“独立、透明且具有实际执行权力的监管机制”，并确保人工智能系统不会做出诸如拒绝为人们提供医疗保健或福利、解雇工人、实施纪律处分，或部署武器等最终决策。他们还希望确保人工智能技术能够真正成为社会的“普遍福祉”。
They also want to ensure that “AI models are not making final decisions such as denying people health care or benefits, firing or disciplining workers, or deploying weapons,” and that AI is a “universal benefit” to society. In 2028, Guardrails will be organizing a coalition around a “populist demand for AI-related policy” but for now, the principles will serve as a floor for what the group and its broader coalition want to see in AI legislation, said Maya Handa, a senior adviser at Guardrails and former adviser and campaigner for democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Guardrails Action的高级顾问Maya Handa表示：“到2028年，我们将围绕‘民众对人工智能政策的需求’再次组建联盟；但现阶段，这些原则将作为我们及整个联盟对人工智能立法的最低要求。”她补充说：“我们希望国会议员以及2028年的选举候选人明白：仅仅提出一些不完整的解决方案是远远不够的，他们必须提出更具雄心的方案。”
“We want members of Congress and 2028 candidates to know that it’s not enough to come to the table with half measures, and they need to be ambitious,” Handa said.
Handa将推动人工智能监管的努力，比作进步派人士呼吁民主党支持‘全民医保’（Medicare for All）和‘绿色新政’（Green New Deal）的呼声。“我们希望他们能够认真思考：在这个充满变革的时代，‘人工智能新政’应该是什么样的？他们应该明确表示：自己不会受亿万富翁的操控或影响。”
Handa likened the push for AI regulation to progressive calls for Democrats to support Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. “We want them to be forced to weigh in on what the New Deal for AI looks like in this transformative moment. And what they should say is: that they are not beholden to billionaires,” she said.
其他签署《Guardrails》联名信的关键团体还包括美国教师联合会（American Federation of Teachers）、一些进步派组织以及民间社会团体；此外，还有一个新成立的组织名为“Who Decides”，该组织的负责人是亚历克斯·博尔斯（Alex Bores）——他曾是纽约州的国会候选人，当时遭到了支持人工智能的超级政治行动委员会“Leading the Future”大量攻击性广告的抨击。
Other key groups that signed onto Guardrails’ letter include the American Federation of Teachers, progressive and civil society groups, and the new group Who Decides run by Alex Bores, the former New York congressional candidate who faced a deluge of attack ads from pro-AI super PAC Leading the Future.
汉达（Handa）表示，该组织目前尚未明确表示支持或反对国会中的任何具体法案。
The group is not specifically endorsing or looking to knock down any specific bills in Congress yet, Handa said.
隶属于“Guardrails Alliance”的相关政治行动委员会今天宣布，将投入120万美元用于投放广告，以反对在加利福尼亚州、蒙大拿州和亚利桑那州获得“Leading the Future”支持的候选人。
The associated PAC Guardrails Alliance announced today an ad spend of $1.2 million opposing candidates backed by the Leading the Future in California, Montana, and Arizona.
