Conservative group warns Republicans to recalibrate on AI policy post-midterms
trevposts · x · 2026-11-05
Semafor exclusively reports that Alliance for a Better Future, a conservative AI policy group led by former Virginia GOP official Janet Kelly (with the Heritage Foundation on its advisory council), issued a post-midterms memo warning Republicans not to cede AI leadership to Democrats.
The memo argues Super Intelligence policy strongly shaped the election through its link to economic concerns, and that Democrats' pairing of economic anxiety with anti-elite populist sentiment was a "deadly one-two punch" Republicans failed to counter. Fully embracing the administration's light-touch AI regulatory agenda would be a mistake, the group says, pushing for greater AI guardrails — arguing a correct recalibration could make AI an asset for the party in 2028.
