Ted Cruz says he plans to bring a narrowly targeted bill addressing AI’s potential catastrophic risks to the Senate Commerce Committee’s upcoming markup, a move spurred by OpenAI’s security breach. He emphasizes bipartisan support and may pair the AI agenda with other tech-safety measures, including a proposed commission to study AI developments with a bioethics focus, as lawmakers outline how to regulate AI without creating a broad regulatory framework.
