Abstraction: AI Now Institute homepage covering AI power, regulation, and accountability

Key points:

• AI Now Institute produces research and policy advocacy on the social implications of AI; co-executive director Sarah Myers West testified before the Senate Banking Committee in 2026.
• 2025 annual report "Artificial Power" maps AI market concentration and proposes strategies to reclaim public agency over AI development.
• Institute critiques the Pentagon-OpenAI deal, noting safety guardrails for generative AI in high-stakes military and surveillance contexts are "deeply lacking."
• Reports cover gig-work platform deregulation in healthcare (Uber-for-nurses), AI bubble risks, and government bailouts of AI companies through regulatory changes.
• Frames AI development as a power and political economy issue, not merely a technical one.
