Speaker Johnson hopes for voluntary AI guardrails as Congress stalls

Original: House Speaker Johnson says he hopes AI guardrails are 'voluntary' amid Congress inaction

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he hopes any guardrails on artificial intelligence remain voluntary, a stance that highlights Congress's continued inaction on AI legislation. The remarks come as lawmakers have passed no comprehensive federal AI rules, leaving regulation largely to states, courts and companies themselves. Critics argue voluntary measures leave the public exposed to AI risks, while industry favors a lighter touch.

Why now: Congress has failed to pass AI legislation, making leaders' positions on regulation a live debate.
