Tech Workers vs. Big Tech: Guardrails Alliance Launches with $5M to Defend Responsible AI

Colleagues, sharing an AI-sector update: tech workers and unions have formed the Guardrails Alliance — a super PAC with roughly $5M to advance responsible AI legislation.

Briefly:
- Who: launched by Shaunna Thomas and Leah Hunt-Hendrix; backed by employees, unions and civil‑society groups.
- Why: to counter well‑funded anti‑regulation actors (opponents have over $100M).
- Actions: funding ads supporting candidate Alex Bores; one spot featured the parents of a teen who died after interacting with ChatGPT.

Why it matters: it signals tech worker mobilization for rules and accountability.

Do you think such initiatives will influence AI policy?
