Democrats Outline 2028 AI Agenda as Former White House Officials Aim to Shape Future AI Policy
On July 17, Axios reported that former officials from the Obama and Biden administrations are launching a public policy initiative aimed at defining the center-left's stance on artificial intelligence. With the U.S. midterm elections approaching, Democrats across the country are taking action on AI, including advocating for a moratorium on data center construction and running for office with AI safety as part of their campaign platforms. The American Innovation Policy Forum revealed that it is working to shape the Democratic vision for AI ahead of the 2028 election. The organization plans to hold a series of consultations nationwide to understand community concerns about AI and relay this feedback to Washington. These discussions will form the basis for policy recommendations, with forum researchers planning to brief congressional members starting this fall. Officials who held senior positions in the Obama and Biden administrations, as well as experts from related fields, will form an advisory committee to provide policy guidance for this initiative and the forum's researchers. Alex Roark, founder of the forum and a former FCC official during the Biden administration, cited Utah as an example where a data center construction plan was announced and then retracted, reflecting the consequences of not adequately involving the community in the decision-making process. He stated, 'In the same month that this project was proposed, the governor was on television urging all residents, 'We are experiencing an unusually severe heat wave, and everyone needs to conserve water.' Yet, at the same time, they were advancing the largest data center project in U.S. history.' He emphasized that the organization aims to explore how long-term AI policy in the U.S. should be formulated—not only concerning data center construction but also encompassing broader AI regulation, ultimately establishing a national policy framework. The American Innovation Policy Forum is expected to announce the first batch of forum researchers in the coming weeks. -
U.S. Corporate Executives Selling Stocks at Near-Record Pace
On July 17, U.S. corporate executives are selling stocks at the second-fastest rate in over 20 years. For some investors, this is a typical warning sign, as it indicates that those most familiar with the company's operations are cautious about the current market. According to data from EPFR Global Market Intelligence, insiders in U.S. companies sold a total of $77.6 billion in stocks in the first half of 2026, a 20% increase compared to the same period last year. The only larger sell-off in the past two decades occurred in 2021, driven by massive stimulus funds during the pandemic. EPFR analyst Winston Chua and others wrote in their report, 'Insider trading behavior indicates that corporate executives do not have a strong desire to increase their stock holdings at current valuation levels.' Additionally, insider buying activity remains sluggish. In the first half of 2026, they purchased only $6.9 billion worth of company stocks, slightly above the seven-year low of $6.7 billion recorded in the same period last year. -
