Alaska’s gubernatorial candidates are stepping up to shape AI governance—six standout contenders reveal bold, proactive plans to ensure AI serves the public safely. Democrat Tom Begich vows agency-level AI strategies within 90 days, anchored in cybersecurity and oversight. Republican Shelley Hughes champions transparency and appeal systems, drawing from her own legislative experience. Matt Claman (now out) warned of privacy and bias risks without guardrails. Independent Bill Walker demands a cabinet-wide code of responsibility and verification of AI content. Edna DeVries supports public input and bans on unexplainable “black box” systems, even admitting she used AI to answer the survey. Lesil McGuire backs human sign-off on AI outputs and a legislative task force. With AI evolving rapidly, these candidates’ decisions could define Alaska’s future—and trust in government hinges on getting this right now.
