Congress is set to leave Washington for the midterm campaign season without passing any major artificial intelligence legislation, according to a New York Times report. Efforts to regulate AI, including safety and transparency measures, have stalled amid partisan divisions and competing industry interests, leaving the US without federal rules as AI development accelerates.
Why now: Lawmakers failing to act on AI regulation before elections leaves a major technology gap unaddressed, drawing criticism and debate.
