Negrón campaigns on establishing real regulatory 'guardrails' for AI (comparing the need to prior failures to regulate social media), including in contexts like AI use in schools, and on not letting large corporate money dictate AI policy outcomes.
“We Do Not Have 20 Years to Get AI Right - And We Cannot Let Big Money Decide It for Us ... What we heard was simple: we waited too long to put real guardrails around social media, and families do not want us to make the same mistake with AI.”
