Several lawmakers have introduced different bills to address AI safety, including the Frontier Act (which would set rules for advanced AI), the AI Kill Switch Act (which would require companies to be able to shut down their AI models), and the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act (which would pause advanced AI development until safety rules exist). However, Congress is currently out of session before midterm elections, making it unlikely that any AI legislation will pass soon.","solution":"Several bills have been introduced to address AI safety: the Frontier Act aims to establish a framework for governing the deployment of advanced AI models; the AI Kill Switch Act would require AI companies to maintain the ability to shut down, throttle or suspend their models; and the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would temporarily pause advanced AI development until the federal government establishes safety rules. Additionally, Sen. Ruben Gallego urged Senate leadership to establish a bipartisan Senate Select Committee on AI at the start of the next Congress.","labels":["policy","safety"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/11/ai-regulation-anthropic-researcher-extinction-warning.html","publishedAt":"2026-09-11T16:34:26.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"regulatory","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI","Anthropic"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["OpenAI","Anthropic"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-09-11T16:34:26.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["safety"],"aiComponentTargeted":null,"llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.92,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
