DC is heating up on AI regulation—and the timing is wild.
One week after I called for a new AI agency, Senators Welch and Bennet dropped a bill proposing an FDA-style regulator for AI. I had zero clue they were working on it. Pure coincidence.
After reading the text, I think they're on the right track. It's ambitious, but AI demands that. We need an independent body that can move fast without compromising public safety.
Key themes I'm hearing from lawmakers:
• Strong appetite for AI legislation among Dems
• Push for an international framework (tough, but necessary)
• Open source vs closed AI—most haven't picked a side yet
Bottom line: Now is the time to engage your reps on AI policy. This tech isn't slowing down, and your voice matters—especially if you have technical expertise in AI, data centers, or policy.
Don't sit this one out.
