A coalition of AI researchers and 19 advocacy groups has written Senate leaders drawing red lines on frontier regulation — in a campaign to reject legislation being developed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota).

Some conservatives and pro-innovation analysts think the “duty of care” in the bill will help stave off regulatory capture by the frontier labs. House Democrats are looking at a more hands-on approach.

New polling by the Special Competitive Studies Project and Gallup finds that Americans are overwhelmingly negative on the economic impacts of AI.
