"Residents of the state that launched the modern AI boom are deeply skeptical of the technology, and are overwhelmingly in favor of regulating AI companies, a new in-depth survey of Californians’ attitudes towards the technology finds.
This is crucial data because, as readers of this newsletter well know, given the Trump administration’s quest for American AI dominance and deregulation, if there’s going to be any meaningful democratic governance of AI in the United States at all over the next few years, it’s going to come from the states. And a lot of it’s going to come from California.
TechEquity, a tech accountability group, spearheaded the research, and interviewed 1,400 Californians about their feelings on AI. The findings were stark: 55% were more concerned than excited about AI, while only 33% expressed more excitement than concern. Meanwhile, 59% thought that “AI will most likely benefit the wealthiest households and corporations, not working people and the middle class.” And both Democrats and Republicans shared that view."

Trump's pledge to scrap mail-in voting could throw U.S. elections into a tailspin
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to ban mail-in voting ahead of the country's midterm elections — a move that could throw the electoral system into disarray and disenfranchise millions who rely on this method to cast a ballot. Scholars also say he has absolutely no authority to make such a change.
