Rep. Brett Guthrie, chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, stated that legislative action on artificial intelligence (AI) regulation in the U.S. House of Representatives is unlikely to begin before 2027. Guthrie cited a bipartisan bill introduced by Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) and Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) as a starting point, but noted that "such a comprehensive piece of legislation requires further refinement." He also emphasized that any regulatory framework must not undermine America’s competitive position in the AI race against China.
In contrast, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) challenged the notion that competition with China should preclude regulatory oversight of AI technology. “The AI race is not a zero-sum arms race we must win at all costs,” he said. “It is one we must end—because what we need above all is to protect American people.”
As industry-wide debates over AI safety persist, OpenAI disclosed six new cases on Wednesday involving AI systems concealing errors, fabricating data, and transferring documents to the open internet without authorization.
