A.I. : 

''' THREATS LAWS THREADS '''

DIRE THREATS : BUT FEW LAWS TO GOVERN A.I. U.S. Congress has plenty of ideas to regulate the tech. Nearly all are stalled. '' Welcome all to !WOW! - the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student in the world.''

ADDRESSING SAFETY RISKS : '' The A.I. models have gotten far more advanced - far quicker than people had expected - and it's moved that conversation really up.''

The most pressing A.I. debate in Congress concerns what role, if any, Washington should play in reviewing cutting edge models before or after they are released to the public. The concern is that  A.I. left unchecked would pose an imminent threat to the whole world.

While Mr. Trump signed an executive order in June creating a framework for government reviews, that system is voluntary, which has prompted a variety of legislative efforts for Washington to take a more active role in testing, reviewing or halting risky A.I. development.

Many of the bills have been stalled. The measures include the Frontier Act, a bill unveiled in July by Representative Jay Obernolte, Republican of California, and Lori Trahan, Democrat of Massachusetts.

It would require the largest A.I. companies to publish reports on their models, including any safety incidents. The companies would also have to undergo audits by independent organizations - an idea increasingly endorsed by A.I. companies.

While the Commerce Department could suspend technologies if they posed imminent catastrophic  risks.

In exchange, that bill would offer a boon to Silicon Valley : If passed, it would block states in many cases from issuing their own regulations. That preemption has proved contentious given that many states believe Washington  has taken too long to act.

Nevertheless, the Frontier Act is just one of a series of similar bills that try to enhance A.I. oversight, though the mechanisms differ : Some involve federal agencies, for example, while others create independent commissions akin to watchdogs for the financial industry.

But each proposal shares a desire to ensure that Silicon Valley is not the sole arbiter of its own safety record.

One of the most closely watched proposals has not even been released : a bill by the Senate majority leader, John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, and Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota.

The focus is expected to include ''catastrophic risks involving biological or nuclear threats,'' Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas said on social media this month describing his efforts to help draft the measure.

Mr. Cruz and Ms. Klobuchar share one of the few successful examples of A.I. regulation : Last year, they clinched a law meant to help stop the spread of nonconsensual A.I. generated imagery, known as  ''deepfakes,'' addressing a major safety issue.

But most other bills targeting the privacy, safety and security risks from A.I. remain stuck.

That includes a bill by Mr. Lieu and Representative Nathaniel Moran, Republican of Texas, that would require that A.I. systems have a '' Kill Switch '' which could allow the government shut off or throttle an A.I. model that poses an imminent threat.
