Four potential Democratic presidential candidates met with AI safety advocates and party figures for a two-day discussion about AI policy and possible party action.

  • JB Pritzker, Rahm Emanuel, Cory Booker and Ro Khanna attended the San Francisco gathering, which was hosted by the organization Who Decides.
  • The event included discussions about AI risks and what Democrats should do; Booker called for a special session of Congress, while Khanna described AI safety as an existential risk.
  • The report says the meeting came days after midterm elections in which voter discontent over issues including AI data centers played a role in Democratic wins.
