Schumer pledges ‘supercharged’ path to AI regulation when Senate returns from recess
Fox News
Senate Majority Leader Schumer signaled AI regulation will be a main focus for his chamber when Congress returns from August recess.
"These forums will build on the longstanding work of our Committees by supercharging the Senate’s typical process so we can stay ahead of AI’s rapid development," Schumer said. "This is not going to be easy, it will be one of the most difficult things we undertake, but in the twenty-first century we cannot behave like ostriches in the sand when it comes to AI. We must treat AI with the same level of seriousness as national security, job creation, and our civil liberties."
