New York State Assemblyman Alex Bores has launched Who Decides, a nonprofit organization that has already raised $10 million to influence Democratic artificial intelligence policy, with plans to secure an additional $20 million by 2027.

Bores, who previously lost a congressional primary centered on AI regulation, is using the nonprofit to position himself as a central figure in shaping Democratic approaches to artificial intelligence policy. The organization has secured initial funding of $10 million and aims to expand its financial backing significantly. According to reporting, Who Decides plans to raise $20 million more during 2027, bringing total resources to approximately $30 million. The nonprofit represents Bores's continued focus on AI regulation following his unsuccessful congressional bid. The initiative suggests growing Democratic interest in developing cohesive AI policy positions ahead of future electoral cycles. Details on Who Decides' specific policy priorities and operational structure remain limited. The organization's funding mechanisms and donor base have not been disclosed in available reporting.
