Summary

A new coalition, the Alliance for a Better Future (ABF), is pushing for safeguards on artificial intelligence (AI) as it expands into classrooms, workplaces, and homes. The group warns that risks to children and workers are growing faster than efforts to control the technology. ABF CEO Janet Kelly says the organization is “on the side of families who want to make sure that it is done well and that it is good for kids.” The group is launching with a video featuring congressional testimony from parents whose children were harmed by AI chatbots.


Our Reading

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

The Alliance for a Better Future (ABF) is formed to push for AI safeguards, with CEO Janet Kelly stating that the organization is “on the side of families who want to make sure that it is done well and that it is good for kids.” The group launches with a video featuring congressional testimony from parents whose children were harmed by AI chatbots. ABF plans to engage aggressively at both the federal and state levels, equipped with targeted ads and public education campaigns. The organization’s policy council includes representatives from various groups, including the Family Policy Alliance and the Heritage Foundation. The ABF’s formation and launch feel like a familiar script, with the organization’s message and tactics mirroring those of other advocacy groups.
