A Crucial Conversation: Hand-Delivering My Message to Congressman Adam Schiff
This upcoming Saturday, March 2nd, represents a pivotal moment in my advocacy efforts. I'm gearing up to meet Congressman Adam Schiff at a public meet-and-greet in Orange County, California. You can RSVP to the event by clicking here. This opportunity is not just a moment to meet a political figure I greatly admire for his unwavering commitment to justice and democracy, but also a chance to directly convey a message of significant importance.
Despite my attempts to reach out via email, I haven't received any responses. Given the volume of communications a Congressman receives daily, this isn't entirely surprising. However, the urgency and gravity of the subject matter— the ethical implications and societal impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI)— necessitate a more direct approach.
That's why I've decided to bring a printed copy of my 114-page letter, "Act Now," addressed to the U.S. Congress. While I'm acutely aware of the environmental implications of printing such a lengthy document, the critical nature of this issue leaves me with no choice but to do it the old-school way. In an age where digital communications can easily be overlooked, a physical document can underscore the seriousness with which I approach this advocacy.
"Act Now" is more than just a letter; it's a comprehensive proposal outlining actionable steps to mitigate the challenges posed by the rapid advancement of AI, particularly in the tech sector. It addresses the looming threat of job displacement and unemployment, advocating for a strategic approach to ensure our workforce remains robust and resilient in the face of technological change.
Handing this document to Congressman Schiff personally is not just about ensuring it reaches him directly; it's about initiating a meaningful dialogue on how we can collaboratively address the ethical development of AI. It's about making a case for why this conversation cannot wait and why proactive measures are essential to shape a future where technological advancements enhance, rather than compromise, our societal welfare.
As I prepare for this meeting, my hope is to engage Congressman Schiff in this critical discussion, emphasizing the need for leadership in navigating the complexities of AI. This is an opportunity to advocate for a future where innovation is matched with ethical responsibility, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to all members of society.
Stay tuned for updates on this important advocacy journey. Together, we can pave the way for ethical AI development that aligns with our shared values of equity, justice, and human dignity.
