Trump & GOP reject calls for urgent AI regulation
Republicans, including President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, are resisting calls for urgent AI regulation, with Trump stating that negative forces are fabricating potential issues and Johnson dismissing the need for emergency legislation. Democrats, however, are aiming to make AI policy a central issue in the upcoming midterms, with Senator Jon Ossoff accusing Trump of being compromised on the matter. AI industry leaders have issued warnings about the technology's potential to outpace human control, but leaders in Washington appear divided on how to respond.
