A few US Republicans are trying to bribe states to destroy AI safety. It’s a tech billionaires dream and we have days to stop it!

John,

US states passed over 20 laws protecting all of us across the world from AI abuse last year alone.

Basic protections from things like AI scams targeting the elderly and cyberbullying and deep fakes aimed at young girls.

Now tech billionaires and Republicans are trying to undo all of it with something Donald Trump is calling “The Big Beautiful Bill.” They’re using a provision that removes 42 billion dollars of federal grants if even one state AI regulation is enforced.

We can stop them. We need just four Republicans to remove this dangerous piece of the Bill in the coming days.

A massive petition scrolling on mobile billboard trucks circling the US capital can show them they need to flip.

Join the call: PROTECT AI SAFETY.

New York just passed a law banning deepfakes of children. California passed a law stopping AI generated robocalls scams. Utah just banned AI generated child pornography.

All of these basic protections are under threat.

And since most AI technology we interact with is made in the US, this exposes all of us to the worst kind of AI with no hope of protection.

We’ve pressured lawmakers to get tougher on Big Tech before, like when Ekō members pushed EU leaders to pass the Digital Services Act. Let’s do it again and stop this disastrous plan before it’s too late.

Join the call: PROTECT AI SAFETY.

With many wavering on the vote, and pressure to pass it fast making everyone nervous, a billboard truck fleet showing major opposition could be just the tactic we need to win!

 Sign the petition 

With hope,
Emma and the team at Ekō
