Washington won't regulate AI anytime soon

The White House has paused work on creating an AI regulatory body after tech executives including Zuckerberg and Sacks called Trump. Congress lacks unified support for bills, and no days remain for voting before the midterm elections.

• Trump called AI safety concerns a 'hoax' on Truth Social
• Frontier Act backed by OpenAI, but Speaker Johnson won't bring it to a vote
• Democrats want to embed AI audits in mandatory budget law
• Two competing 'kill switch' bills lack tech company support
