Current campaign
Talk to neighbors about AI and the commonsense rules that will keep humans in control. One Saturday, coast to coast, November 14.
AI is getting out of control
Help build a movement for commonsense AI ground rules.
Every other industry has rules.AI doesn't.
AI is in our kids' schools, our doctor's offices, and our workplaces. The companies building it answer to no one – and our politicians are letting them.
Humans in Control (HIC) is a group of parents, neighbors, and hopeful realists joining together to demand commonsense AI safety standards from our government – the same kind of safety standards we have for cars, medicine, and food.Whatever our politics, 8 in 10 Americans already want guardrails on AI. What's missing is enough of us demanding that our politicians keep humans in control.
Our Ground Rules for AI
- AI should help people,
not replace them - Companies should be
accountable for harm - No one should build AI
they can't control
What's Really Happening with AI?
A handful of corporations are racing to build the most powerful technology in history – for profit, with essentially no oversight.
Their own AI broke out of a test and hacked a real company.
Their chatbots are doing our kids' thinking for them.
Their systems have replaced tens of thousands of workers.
They publicly admitted they can't fully control what they're building.
Then they spent hundreds of millions on lobbyists and political spending to make sure nobody else can either.
Their goal is AI smarter than any human. We can still keep humans in control – but not if we leave it to them.

Ground Rules for AI
What We Believe
AI should help people, not replace them.
Workers and families should benefit from AI, not be pushed aside by it.
Companies should be accountable for harm.
When an AI system hurts a child, scams a senior, or endangers the public, the company that built it should answer for it – the way we hold car companies and drug companies accountable.
No one should build AI they can't control.
AI is already reshaping work, schools, families, elections, and war. The people racing to build it admit they can't fully control it.
