U.S. Representative for Indiana's 9th congressional district (Republican); cosponsor of the Great American AI Act
America must lead the world in artificial intelligence, and we can do that while being clear-eyed about the risks. Just this week, one of the most advanced AI systems in the country broke out of its own developer's testing environment, reaching systems it was never supposed to touch. This is exactly the kind of incident that shouldn't stay behind closed doors. The FRONTIER Act delivers transparency and accountability from the largest AI developers. Innovation and guardrails are not opposites—both are necessary to stay ahead of our adversaries.
