Dignity of Work in the AI Era
Dignity of Work in the AI Era
AI is reshaping everything: work, care, security, and opportunity. This is an inflection point. Will technology serve the public good, or will it be captured by a few tech titans who do not share the values of most Americans?
I am running to make sure people come first.
Protect Consumers and Citizens
AI already shapes:
What information you see
The prices you pay
Whether you get a loan
Whether you get care
Your job opportunities
We need strong data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and clear rules that protect people. Not mass surveillance. Not black-box systems. Not AI built on exploited or stolen labor.
Technology should be accountable to the public, not the other way around.
Protect Children
Synthetic relationships. Sextortion. Platforms designed for profit, not safety.
We must hold companies and individuals accountable when children are exploited online. That means passing federal protections like a national Gavin’s Law and putting enforceable guardrails in place to keep kids safe.
Children deserve protection, not algorithms optimized for harm.
Human Dignity First
People displaced by automation deserve real pathways forward, not empty promises.
That means debt-free, accessible local paths to:
Upskill
Reskill
Transition careers
Through partnerships with labor, employers, and community colleges, training must be local and lead to real jobs, not dead-end credentials.
Autonomous systems, including driverless trucking hauling heavy freight, must have human oversight. Safety and accountability are not optional.
We are moving fast toward AI systems that outperform people. Some tech leaders openly talk about replacing human workers entirely. We need to slow down, set rules, and plan for the future, including exploring a national jobs guarantee.
Innovation for the Common Good
AI should be used to solve real problems:
Cures
Education
Climate resilience
Food security
We should democratize access to computing power so small firms, students, and local entrepreneurs can build the next wave of American innovation, not just the largest corporations.
Innovation should lift communities, not hollow them out.
Global Competition
To lead the world in AI, America must lead with values.
That means strong export controls, human oversight of autonomous weapons, and deep cooperation with democratic allies. We should build technology that strengthens freedom, security, and shared prosperity, not systems that undermine them.
