Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

As of March 12, 2025, the United States stands at a crossroads with artificial intelligence (AI). This technology is transforming our world—powering breakthroughs in healthcare, streamlining industries, and even shaping how we communicate. But with great power comes great responsibility, and AI's unchecked growth poses risks we can't afford to ignore. I'm writing to urge you to prioritize robust AI regulations that balance innovation with the safety, privacy, and security of the American people.

AI's potential is undeniable. It's diagnosing diseases faster than doctors, optimizing supply chains, and driving autonomous vehicles. Yet, this same power can disrupt lives just as easily. Take job displacement: the Congressional Budget Office projects that automation could shrink labor income by over $1 trillion annually by 2035 if trends continue unchecked. Entire industries—like manufacturing, retail, and even white-collar sectors—face upheaval as AI replaces human workers. Without regulation, we risk leaving millions behind, widening inequality, and destabilizing our economy. Congress can step in with policies like retraining programs or tax incentives for companies that prioritize human-AI collaboration, ensuring innovation doesn't come at the cost of livelihoods.

Then there's privacy. AI thrives on data—our data. From facial recognition to predictive algorithms, companies are harvesting personal information at an unprecedented scale, often without consent or transparency. Recent scandals show how this data can be weaponized, whether by corporations targeting vulnerable consumers or bad actors manipulating elections. Regulation could mandate clear data usage rules, giving Americans control over their digital lives. Look at the European Union's GDPR—it's not perfect, but it proves privacy laws can coexist with tech growth. Why can't we lead the way here?

National security is another pressing concern. AI isn't just a commercial tool; it's a geopolitical weapon. Adversaries like China are racing to dominate AI, embedding it in military systems and surveillance networks. Without oversight, our own AI advancements could fall into the wrong hands—or worse, outpace our ability to defend against them. Congress should require strict security standards for AI development, especially in defense contracts, and invest in research to keep us ahead of the curve.

Skeptics might argue that regulation stifles innovation. I get it—overreach could bog down startups or scare off investment. But smart rules don't kill progress; they guide it. Think of seatbelts: they didn't stop the auto industry from thriving—they made it safer and more trusted. AI needs guardrails—limits on bias in algorithms, accountability for misuse, and transparency in deployment—so it earns public trust and delivers on its promise.

The 119th Congress has a rare chance to shape AI's future before it shapes us. I urge you to act decisively: pass legislation that protects jobs, safeguards privacy, and secures our nation while letting innovation flourish. The stakes are too high to wait. Let's lead the world not just in AI's power, but in its responsible use.

Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
