Alex Morse, co-founder of Future Sites and former New York State Assemblyman, discusses his experience with AI regulation, including sponsoring the Raise Act and facing opposition from a super PAC backed by OpenAI figures. He believes effective regulation is key to mitigating risks associated with AI development.
“In 2025, he sponsored New York's Raise Act, which requires large developers of frontier AI models to establish and disclose safety and security protocols.”
“This super PAC, by Andrew S. Horowitz and Greg Brockman of Open AI, spent nearly $8 million to beat you.”
“So all of those tactics suggest that it wasn't just about beating me, it was about sending a message to any other legislator that if you try to regulate AI, we will remember and we will bury you.”
“It's all about trying to rein in the incentives and ensure that the deployment is done safely.”
