    A recent poll shows that the American people overwhelmingly want to ban artificial super intelligence and pause the development of AI until we establish clear safety standards.

    We tested @SenSanders and @RepCasar's bill to pause AI development and permanently ban the creation of AI superintelligence. It's supported by 68% of voters — including 72% of Democrats, 70% of Independents, and 63% of Republicans.
    Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Strongly Support Legislation to Regulate the Development of Artificial Intelligence.
Description: Some members of Congress have proposed a temporary pause on the development of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems until a federal regulator establishes safety standards and a review process for evaluating new AI models before release. The proposal would also permanently prohibit the development or deployment of AI systems that either exceed human intelligence or are capable of resisting or overriding human attempts to shut them down. Do you support or oppose this proposal?
All likely voters — Support: 68%, Oppose: 25%
Democrat — Support: 72%, Oppose: 21%
Independent / Third party — Support: 70%, Oppose: 21%
Republican — Support: 63%, Oppose: 31%

September 4–9, 2026 survey of 1,332 U.S. likely voters.

    A new NBC poll found 81% of Americans believe the government is not doing enough to regulate AI. They’re right. AI threatens our economy, privacy, democracy and the well-being of our kids. Congress must stand up to the Big Tech oligarchs and protect the American people.

    Over the last 50 years, $79 trillion has been transferred from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. CEOs now make 350 times more than their average workers, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We can and must create an economy that works for all, not just the 1%.

    On this Labor Day we give our thanks to the millions of trade unionists in our country who are leading the fight for economic, social and racial justice. Thanks to all of you for what you’re doing. Let’s go forward together.

    “The best way to honor Dolly Parton’s legacy is to counter Trump’s cruel inhumanity with generosity, kindness, compassion, respect, and unity.”

    NEW: Dolly Parton was humble, generous, supported literacy and workers' rights, was an LGBTQ+ ally, and funded causes from disaster relief to medical research just to help others. Parton's America was the opposite of Trump's. otherwords.org/dolly-partons-…
