We’re in a cost of living crisis in America.
BREAKING: Inflation remained stubborn in July as wage growth slowed for workers.
AI needs a kill switch. @RepTedLieu and @RepNateMoran's bipartisan AI Kill Switch Act is the safeguard we need to shut down dangerous models before it’s too late.
California’s 36th Congressional District is home to many amazing tech companies – including Rainmaker.
It was a pleasure to see firsthand how Rainmaker’s cloud seeding technology helps combat water scarcity in the U.S.
Democrats are working in Congress to support innovative technology and fight for solutions to the climate crisis.

Bipartisan duo @RepTedLieu & @RepNateMoran explain why they introduced the AI Kill Switch Act:
Humans NEED to maintain control over AI systems.
It’s just common sense.
Donald Trump only cares about profits.
He's working overtime to sell his overpriced junk, but has no time to lower your costs or protect healthcare. He's a disgrace.
While Americans struggle to put food on the table, the Trump family is raking in BILLIONS.
This is blatant corruption.
The U.S. government owes service members, their families, and every American the truth about all U.S. casualties in the War with Iran.
This is just common sense.
This is a war without a strategy.
The Pentagon is HIDING Iran War casualties.
Proud to endorse @RepTedLieu and @RepNateMoran's AI Kill Switch Act.
"The government must have the power to shut down autonomous AIs when they threaten national security. The AI Kill Switch Act gives the U.S. government powers to do just that." — Connor Leahy, ControlAI

Lawmakers push for AI 'kill switch' after OpenAI goes rogue
The Iran War is a strategic disaster.
This week, Reps. @tedlieu and @RepNateMoran introduced the AI Kill Switch Act, requiring AI labs to be able to shut down models and giving the government authority to order a shutdown after a serious incident.
Advanced AI should never be deployed without a reliable off switch.

Donald Trump’s U.S. Ambassador can’t answer basic facts about the Iran War. @tedlieu isn’t taking any of their BS, and neither should you.
OpenAI’s Rogue Agent Has Congress Reaching for the Kill Switch
As AI systems grow more capable and more autonomous, no law guarantees that the companies building the most powerful models can actually shut a system down when it malfunctions, causes serious harm, or slips out of human control.
@RepTedLieu and @RepNateMoran's AI Kill Switch Act closes that gap by requiring the largest AI developers to contain or shut down their most powerful systems and by giving the government emergency authority to order a shutdown when a serious incident occurs.

While powerful AI systems have many potential benefits, they can also go rogue, behave in extremely dangerous ways, or even resist human intervention.
We need to keep human control by ensuring AI systems can be completely shut down if necessary.
