Eighteen candidates running for House, Senate, and gubernatorial offices in the United States have signed a pledge to advocate for enhanced regulations on the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. This group includes 17 Democrats and one independent candidate, Dan Osborn, who is challenging Republican Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska.

The candidates have agreed to support a five-pronged strategy aimed at addressing the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving AI technology. The move comes amid increasing scrutiny of AI's effects on Americans and the broader society.

This bipartisan effort highlights growing political attention to AI regulation as a key issue in upcoming elections.
