Hi John,

When policies are designed by and for the wealthy few, we the people lose. And blocking AI regulation is a perfect example. 

Recently, President Trump signed an executive order that would override any regulations at the state level with a more hands-off federal policy. At the same time, the White House AI Czar, David Sacks, has 708 tech investments, including at least 449 stakes in companies with ties to artificial intelligence that could be aided by the administration's policies. If the growth of AI leads to his direct enrichment, he's incentivized to make sure the companies get what they want — and blocking regulation would seem high on that list. 

In a healthy democracy, laws and regulations should be made with the best interests of the public in mind, not by someone with a stake in what's being regulated looking out for what will make companies and investors richer. 

Tell Congress to investigate the influence of AI companies in the administration. We deserve to know who is swaying the administration's policies, and why.
