Lawmakers are expressing broader willingness to regulate AI development, but the path forward may not be a quick one. n.pr/4AhwL0U
Congress is under pressure to act on AI — here's what that could look like

That's why we should immediately pause the development of advanced AI while lawmakers and regulators put systems in place to keep people safe.

AI governance is not just compliance. It is organisational capability.
