The Honorable [Congressperson’s Full Name]
[Office Address]
United States House of Representatives / Senate
Washington, D.C. [ZIP Code]
Dear [Representative/Senator] [Last Name],
I am writing to you as a [concerned citizen / technologist / parent / professional in the AI field] to urge Congress to take immediate and proactive steps to ensure the safe and responsible development of artificial intelligence.
Recent advances in AI have brought immense potential — from accelerating medical breakthroughs to improving education and national productivity. However, these technologies also carry serious risks if deployed irresponsibly. The same algorithms that can enhance lives can also be used to spread disinformation, enable surveillance, disrupt labor markets, or — in the most extreme cases — cause harm on a scale that is difficult to predict or contain.
Sincerly,
[First] [Last], from [City]
