The Harder Problem Action Fund is an advocacy organization fighting harmful AI consciousness legislation. We track pending bills, score legislation, lobby for evidence-based policy, and mobilize public action before ignorance becomes law.
Republican • Federal – US Congress • Senate
Sen. Josh Hawley has been active on AI policy issues, sponsoring multiple bills focused on child safety, job displacement tracking, and national security. However, he has not taken any documented actions specifically related to AI consciousness, AI sentience, or AI rights. His legislative work addresses AI as a technology that poses risks to humans, without engaging with questions about the moral status of AI systems themselves.
