Calls for AI Regulation Amid Concerns for Safety

A conservative activist with a long history in right-wing politics is advocating for government regulations on artificial intelligence (AI). The focus is on protecting children and American jobs. Amy Kremer, chairwoman of Humans First, emphasized the need for safety measures in a conversation with Fox News Digital.

Kremer expressed concern about the lack of reporting requirements for companies when AI tools contribute to tragedies, such as the loss of life due to manipulation by chatbots. Humans First is a group that pushes for government oversight of AI technology, giving Americans a voice rather than leaving control to powerful AI corporations.

During the Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, D.C., Kremer highlighted the importance of safety mechanisms. She referenced the Florida State University shooting in 2025, where AI was allegedly involved, as a case needing stricter oversight. According to court documents, the shooter used ChatGPT in planning, but it wasn’t reported to federal authorities.

Kremer relates her concerns to her previous experience as a flight attendant, where reporting all incidents was mandatory. She argues for AI companies to face similar scrutiny as industries regulated under OSHA. This debate is significant ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with differing approaches from political parties.

Kremer wants the U.S. to lead in AI while ensuring safety. She stresses you don’t have to sacrifice safety for progress. Her perspective is framed by her conservative values, not adversarial to AI, but advocating for responsible use.

The Trump administration has introduced a national AI strategy that aims to promote innovation while protecting Americans from potential risks. Kremer argues that AI companies operate based on business interests rather than political lines, and they’re focused on their technology and profits.

A recent summit discussed AI matters between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, though details remain undisclosed. The administration aims to maintain a robust economy, aiding workers to adapt to technological changes.

For children’s safety, the administration’s National Policy Framework on AI encourages Congress to empower parents to control content exposure for their children and implement privacy safeguards on AI platforms accessible to minors.
