Alex Bores launches $30 million AI safety group ahead of 2028 election

  • Alex Bores and Anna Myers launched Who Decides to coordinate AI regulation advocates.
  • $10 million has been raised, with $20 million more targeted for 2027.
  • Bores’ RAISE Act coalition included 55 organizations before New York enacted the law.

New York state Assemblymember Alex Bores and former chief of staff Anna Myers have launched Who Decides, a nonprofit that has raised $10 million and aims to raise another $20 million in 2027. The group plans to coordinate AI advocacy organizations across 11 battleground states, help them develop their own policy agendas and establish shared priorities ahead of the 2028 election. Bores previously co-authored New York’s RAISE Act, which became law late last year after a coalition of 55 organizations supported it. He made AI regulation central to his campaign for Rep. Jerry Nadler’s open congressional seat but lost after more than $40 million in outside spending, including more than $7.6 million opposing him. Who Decides says 80% of Americans favor more AI regulation, while a February–March 2026 Annenberg survey found 65% believed the government had done too little. The initiative also seeks to counter efforts to weaken state AI rules and reduce divisions among Democratic-aligned advocates.
