A Warning for Frontier AI Model Governance
Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Nathaniel Moran’s (R-Texas) AI Kill Switch Act would empower the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to slow or halt frontier models. John Kennedy (R-La.) introduced a different "kill switch" bill, placing such power in the hands of private actors. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) and Lori Trahan’s (D-Mass.) FRONTIER Act would vest regulatory authority in the Department of Commerce and independent auditors, arguing that AI governance should not be “buried inside the national security apparatus.”We applaud the governance momentum that is gathering.
