Lawmakers are continuing to take bipartisan aim at the use of artificial intelligence-powered surveillance systems and at data center development and operations.
Although Congress is in recess, lawmakers in the House and Senate still rolled out proposals over the past week looking to promote clarity around the use of — and potential harms posed by — AI tools.
Lawmakers introduced a slew of measures this week that looked to rein in AI risks and provide new oversight and guardrails around the construction of new data centers.
Lawmakers introduced a deluge of AI-focused measures this week in response to growing concerns about the capabilities of advanced models and to President Donald Trump’s pushback against new measures.
Lawmakers introduced several measures this week looking to rein in some of the potential abuses and dangers of using AI, as well as a proposal that looks to leverage AI for pediatric cancer research and treatment.
Among this week’s bills is a sweeping measure to address the rapid pace of advanced AI development and deployment by banning work on superintelligent AI and temporarily pausing advanced AI development.
Legislation introduced this week seeks to police the use of algorithmic price-setting for home rentals and rein in how the federal government influences new data center construction.
Recently proposals look, in part, to deploy artificial intelligence solutions to prevent natural disasters from impeding U.S. military operations and evaluate China’s AI chip manufacturing sector.
This week’s bills addressed how to fortify the U.S. AI ecosystem through penalizing adversaries for model distillation, taxing large developers for AI-driven layoffs, and more.

This week’s proposals include a measure to create a reporting process for dangerous AI systems and legislation to collect data on AI’s impact on the U.S. workforce.
The latest tech legislation looks to create a database that can aid biotechnology development, understand how quantum computing could affect national security and give the U.S. public a share in the biggest AI companies.
New legislation also looks to create guardrails on the Pentagon’s use of AI, understand how the emerging capabilities are affecting the U.S. job market and determine the environmental impact of data centers.
Legislative measures introduced this week touched on enhancing the tech fluency of the U.S. Foreign Service, offering legal recourse for recipients of illicit images and modernizing VA’s identity proofing and authentication systems.
