Capitol Hill presses forward on bipartisan AI-safety bill

A bipartisan AI-safety bill led by Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Sen. Ted Cruz, with Majority Leader John Thune, is gaining momentum in Congress and could be introduced as early as next week. AI frontier labs and advocacy groups are weighing in on a circulating draft that hasn’t been released publicly, while progressives like Bernie Sanders push for stricter actions (including a possible ban on superintelligence) and OpenAI urges timely regulation ahead of adjournment.
