A bipartisan group of lawmakers are backing creating a federal commission to develop a strategy for regulating artificial intelligence, the latest addition to a growing crop of legislative proposals tackling new AI tools like ChatGPT.
Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Ken Buck (R-Colo.) on Tuesday are introducing a bill that would require Congress and the White House to appoint 20 people across government, industry, civil society and the computer science field to an AI commission.
A bipartisan House bill introduced Tuesday would create a commission to review, recommend and establish regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

On May 16, a Senate subcommittee held its first congressional hearing on artificial intelligence. While the tech industry touts AI's many benefits - personalized learning, content creation, scientific discovery - the technology's risks have also come into focus: disinformation, job loss, and, some experts warn, AI could be an existential threat to humanity. Now Congress is paying attention. But the question of how, or even if the government is capable of putting guardrails around such a fast-moving technology, is unclear.

Beyer Jr. (D-VA) and Ken Buck (R-CO) introduced the bipartisan Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Act, legislation to safeguard the nuclear command and control process from any future change in policy that allows AI to make nuclear launch decisions. Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA) is introducing companion legislation in the Senate.
Policymakers working on regulating artificial intelligence say that there are far more pressing issues for lawmakers to look at than just the fictional doomsday from the Terminator movies, where a rogue weapons system declares nuclear war on humanity.
But also: They should probably nip the Terminator scenario in the bud while they’re at it.
