According to Sina Finance, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Minnesota Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar said the Senate's bipartisan talks on AI safety have stalled, and the committee will not advance related legislation before the election. Cruz said any bill review and amendment work would have to wait until the lame-duck session because the two parties have not reached consensus, while Klobuchar said she is still speaking with Republican lawmakers and wants strong AI safety safeguards in place by year-end. She blamed U.S. President Donald Trump for complicating the talks, saying he opposed the regulatory framework. It remains unclear whether senators can produce a bipartisan bill before the election.
