The Issue

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds immense potential to either centralize power or democratize it. As concerned citizens in the United States, we are calling for a democratically controlled AI public option to ensure AI serves the public interest. With the rapid advancements in AI technology, it is crucial that all citizens have access to trustworthy AI resources, so that we can strengthen our democratic processes and expand access to participate in government.

A publicly governed AI option would offer greater transparency and accountability than purely privatized solutions. By involving citizens directly in the development and oversight of AI, we can safeguard against biases and ensure equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. Creating a public option for AI would empower more citizens to actively engage with and in government agencies and initiatives. This change would not only enhance citizen involvement in decision-making processes but also ensure fairness and inclusivity in AI advancements. Furthermore, it would serve as a model for ethical AI development, focusing on collective benefit rather than profits.

 Join our call to action and sign this petition to advocate for a public AI that serves the public, enabling a more participatory and transparent digital democracy for everyone. By adopting a public AI option, we can foster innovation while ensuring that the benefits of AI are shared broadly. Together, we can create a future where AI enhances, rather than hinders, our democratic values.
