Who we are
A coalition that refuses to look the other way
The Guardrails Alliance is made up of workers, organizers, policy experts, and everyday people who believe the most powerful technology ever built shouldn't be controlled by a handful of unaccountable billionaires. Our democracy shouldn't be for sale to the highest bidder.
We are not anti-technology. We believe AI can be transformative, beneficial, and genuinely good for people. But that future requires rules, accountability, and a government that actually represents the public — not just its donors.
We bring together a big tent: union members worried about their jobs, parents worried about their kids, AI safety researchers, and progressives who've been fighting corporate power and civil rights for decades. That breadth is our strength.
The question isn't whether AI will change the world. It's whether the people affected by that change will have any say in how.— Guardrails Alliance
Our mission
Put guardrails on AI before it's too late to matter
Why it matters
Concern about AI without guardrails is broad, cross-partisan, and growing
