{"organizationSummary":["Negotiate the Future was founded in March 2026 to build a credible center of gravity for AI policy - one that is technically grounded, economically literate, and institutionally serious.","We aim to translate frontier capability into public benefit by pairing strategic development with distribution mechanisms, environmental accountability, and democratic governance.","We operate with a simple discipline: focus on what is true, what is material, and what is actionable. Many safety and consumer-protection issues are important, but they cannot become a substitute for addressing the larger structural shift underway - the rapid automation of work and the reallocation of value toward owners of capital, compute, and platforms.","The closed-source labs are at the cutting edge. Open-source labs are months behind. The private sector lags further still. Regulators are largely absent. Negotiate the Future exists to close that gap - by educating lawmakers, amplifying public voices, and building the institutional seriousness this moment demands."],"founders":[{"name":"Luke Kabbash","title":"Co-Founder","bio":"Luke Kabbash is a Co-Founder of Negotiate the Future. He directed marketing at Skyworx Drone Shows, helping the company land and promote work with major brand partners including Disney, Paramount, and Netflix while operating inside a fast-moving technology startup within a highly visible and emerging industry. He studied political science and economics at Ithaca College, and now runs LK Digital Solutions, LLC, where he builds free and paid software applications used by thousands monthly, and helps small businesses strengthen their position on the web through AI and automation. He co-founded Negotiate the Future out of a conviction that artificial intelligence is advancing faster than private sector adoption, and far faster than the public sector is prepared to understand or govern it. He believes the continued unhobbling of AI models will reorder the economy much sooner than policymakers expect, and that without public visibility now, the United States will end up governing through panic later. He is based in New York.\n","pfpUrl":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/ntf-v2-f224f.firebasestorage.app/o/admin_files%2F1772816897504_cofounderone-1772816897504-Headshot512.png?alt=media&token=dcf3a3a6-7259-42a0-be09-b57b5ee5303e","publicProfileUrl":"https://negotiatethefuture.org/about#cofounderOne"},{"name":"Ethan Lieberman","title":"Co-Founder","bio":"Ethan Lieberman is a Co-Founder of Negotiate the Future. He is an investigative researcher and documentary producer whose work has focused on the intersection of resource rights, tribal sovereignty, and institutional accountability.  He brings to Negotiate the Future a conviction shaped by that work: that the most consequential decisions about who controls critical resources are made before most people realize a decision is being made. AI infrastructure is no different. The land, energy, and legal frameworks being established now will determine who benefits from the technology for decades.
