President Donald Trump is determined to leave AI companies to their own devices when it comes to building safety guardrails. But tech executives and former government officials say they’re skeptical the accord will lead to tangible changes because the stipulations aren't legally binding and likely aren’t much different from what the companies are already doing. The accord underscores a simmering tension between some major AI companies and the Administration over safety guardrails: Executives such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei

Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) introduced the Cybersecurity and AI Board of Investigations Act, which would establish an independent board to investigate major cybersecurity incidents affecting critical infrastructure, including those enabled by artificial intelligence (AI).

Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and James Lankford (R-Okla.) introduced the AI Systems Transparency Act (ASTA) which would require AI companies to be more transparent with the public about what data their models are collecting from users, the safeguards they’ve put in place for children and adults, and the guardrails they’ve created to stop systems from going rogue or being used dangerously by bad actors. Under ASTA, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would have the power to enforce these transparency requirements, while ensuring that companies c

President Trump summoned the world’s most powerful technology executives to the White House and praised the assembled billionaires as “very brilliant” minds who wanted to make the world a better place through job creation, the construction of data centers, and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence. President Trump faces questions about whether A.I. should be regulated, and particularly whether restrictions should be put in place to protect humans from technology that has learned to outmaneuver existing safeguards.

The capabilities of today’s frontier systems do much more than imitate or automate discrete aspects of human intelligence.  They increasingly amplify human ingenuity and unlock new forms of creativity, empowering Americans to achieve what was previously impossible across science, medicine, and nearly every other domain of human endeavor.  As these capabilities continue to improve, they increasingly represent not merely artificial intelligence, but a new era of Super Intelligence.

Former artificial intelligence researcher Jacob Coxon recently told the world that the companies he once worked for are driving humanity to the brink of extinction. Days after he made his claims, tech CEOs seemed to agree, and in a series of lengthy manifestos and X posts, asked for … an antitrust exemption.

This executive order directs the establishment of America.gov as the unified digital front door to the Federal Government for every individual in the United States seeking Federal information or services.  America.gov will not be merely another website, search engine, or directory of Government links.

Sens Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Peter Welch (D-VT) announced a new proposal building off of their landmark legislation to create a new independent federal agency to regulate frontier artificial intelligence models and social media. The AI Regulator Act would require pre-certification for frontier AI models, delay the public release of any AI model that could pose catastrophic risks without necessary safeguards, and issue formal rulemakings able to keep pace with the speed of innovat

In the Beckett play Happy Days, the main character, Winnie, begins the play buried to her waist in a mound of dirt. A bell rings. She wakes up. And she announces: “Another heavenly day.” She carries on. She goes through her routines. She talks incessantly. She is adapting to her circumstances. When the second act begins, the mound has risen to her neck.
