People under the age of 18 should not be able to interact with AI chatbots. These chatbots continue to put the lives and mental health of children at risk, and it is critical for Congress to act immediately. AI Verified source (2026)

Competition, innovation, and speech options will be limited as a result of these moves. Unverified source (2026)

Clearly we have a right to do this. [...] An executive order can't block states. You can preempt states under Article 1 powers through congressional legislation on certain issues, but you can't do it through executive order. AI Verified source (2025)

Creating a patchwork of AI laws where 50 different states all have different goals is ultimately going to hurt little tech and startups more than anyone else. AI Verified source (2026)

AI requires industrial mobilisation on a scale not seen in generations: huge investments in energy, semiconductors, computing infrastructure and capital. [...] The US is on track to spend about five times more than Europe on building data centres by ... more AI Verified source (2026)

Proponents of a "EuroStack" argue that Europe must build its own alternative at every level — from chips to cloud to software. But this path represents a €5-trillion mirage. Attempting to decouple from the global tech ecosystem through massive subsid... more AI Verified source (2026)

The bipartisan MATCH Act will close loopholes, create a level playing field for U.S. and allied toolmakers, and ensure the next decade of growth in chip manufacturing – and the jobs that come with it – happens in the United States and allied countrie... more AI Verified source (2026)

Conceding an entire market the size of China probably does not make a lot of strategic sense, so I think that has already largely backfired. Maybe it made sense at the time, but I think the policy really needs to be dynamic and needs to stay with the... more AI Verified source (2026)

There is a huge demand from the industry and governments for a credible frontier AI company that is neither Chinese nor American. AI Verified source (2026)

We want to make sure that the world uses the American AI stack. [...] We also want the world to use our AI model. We want all our allies, including India, to leverage our AI infrastructure. Unverified source (2026)

Tax revenues globally could be at risk from transformative artificial intelligence (TAI) due to a shift from labor to capital, the concentration of economic profits, and weak international tax coordination. [...] A progressive global corporate profit... more AI Verified source (2026)

Capitalism has also depended on somewhat of a power balance between labor and capital, but if it's hard in many of our current jobs to outwork a GPU, then that changes. [...] If there was an easy consensus answer, we'd have done it by now, so I don't... more Unverified source (2026)

Higher taxes on capital income reduce the return on investment, weakening firms' incentives to invest in AI infrastructure, advanced equipment, and productivity-enhancing technologies, which in a global environment where countries such as China are a... more AI Verified source (2026)

A sovereign wealth fund would not replace capitalism. It would extend capitalism's upside to people the current structure leaves out. [...] It would invest in society alongside the people already benefiting from these rapidly appreciating assets so t... more AI Verified source (2026)

Whether AI's benefits are widely shared is a political question, has nothing to do with technology. Unverified source (2026)

[AI] is the greatest challenge that has ever faced humanity. [...] We need to do it tomorrow. We're late already. We should have already done it. AI Verified source (2026)

Computer scientists often aren't good judges of the social and political implications of technology. They are so focused on the AI's mechanisms and are overwhelmed by its success, but they are not very good at placing it into a social and historical ... more Unverified source (2026)

Overall, our impression is, as we hypothesized in our discussion of Claude's constitution, that teaching the principles underlying aligned behavior can be more effective than training on demonstrations of aligned behavior alone. AI Verified source (2026)

Beyond the peer preservation, what we would like to emphasize is not only this specific scenario but also such misaligned behavior can emerge in many different scenarios. [...] Peer preservation is just like the tip of the iceberg. AI Verified source (2026)

This is very arbitrary, obviously, but I feel like there's at least a reasonable chance that 2026 Q1 will be looked back upon as the first quarter of the singularity. [...] There's been a phase transition in 2025. AI Verified source (2026)

Until some company or scientist says ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences. We can get most of the benefits w... more AI Verified source (2024)

For the last-invention story to hold, people would have to become unnecessary even as partners or supervisors to AIs. [...] We would need a world where practical know-how is fully transferable through digital channels and where responsibility can be ... more Unverified source (2026)

The central obstacle to AI safety coordination is not the absence of solutions but rather the absence of a standard: without a shared, legible definition of what makes an AI system safe, companies and governments have no basis for holding each other ... more AI Verified source (2026)

A [central] problem with regulating frontier AI models is that a new feature emerges in these systems that is not tested, testable. [...] As long as you have this new emergent power, you have deep reasoning, deep capabilities, and they will make mist... more Unverified source (2026)

In a context in which the high level of computerization of financial tools imposes increasingly elaborate and artificial forms of mediation in interpersonal relationships, you — heirs to a great tradition of human attentiveness — are called to ensure... more AI Verified source (2026)

With agentic AI, experienced auditors would be supported by autonomous agents, allowing them to dedicate more attention to complex and judgment-oriented procedures. Unverified source (2025)

We're redefining what it means to be an insurance agent — with fully autonomous AI agents that will eliminate human error, offer superior client interactions 24/7, and fundamentally alter industry expectations. Unverified source (2025)

We can't allow a handful of billionaires, eager to increase their wealth and power, to rush forward with a technology that will fundamentally transform humanity without democratic input or accountability. AI Verified source (2026)

There is no upper limit on how intelligent AIs will get or on how good robots will get, and I believe the advances will not plateau before exceeding human levels. [...] AI capabilities will allow us to make far more goods and services with less labor... more AI Verified source (2026)

You could imagine a world in which AI systems and robots and so on can produce everything so cheaply that humans who have to compete with them won't even be able to afford a subsistence income. AI Verified source (2026)

Independent, rigorous measurement science is essential to understanding frontier AI and its national security implications. [...] These expanded industry collaborations help us scale our work in the public interest at a critical moment. AI Verified source (2026)

Finally, it’s not clear how well some of the act’s provisions reflect the current state of the AI ecosystem. The act demands that labs hire an independent third party to complete an annual audit of their protocols to ensure compliance with the act. T... more AI Verified source (2025)
