- Published
- Record updated
Summary
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., will introduce the "Human Control Over AI Act," which would ban models that recursively self-improve or autonomously modify their own core objectives, containment or shutdown controls until federal guardrails exist and an agency approves the activities. The bill would create a new federal agency to license frontier AI training and deployment, audit frontier models, and set standards for sandbox testing, air gaps and kill switches. It would also impose criminal penalties on AI company employees who disable safeguards and require companies to hold extensive liability insurance.
