[We] have to be very careful about how we come to [AI's] employment and its inspiration into the delivery of lethality. [...] We, as humans, have to have the confidence that it's going to deliver violence only where we intend it to be delivered. AI Verified source (2026)

Objective-driven AI systems will be safe and will remain under our control, because we set their objectives and guardrails and they can't deviate from them. Agentic systems can plan action sequences to accomplish a task, subject to safety guardrails ... more Unverified source (2025)

Communist China and its accomplices continue to smuggle advanced AI chips to undermine the US and threaten our national security. My bipartisan Chips Security Act would ensure our chips don't illegally fall into the hands of our adversaries. Unverified source (2026)

Back in 2022, I supported the Biden chip-export controls on China. After a week with Chinese AI researchers and tech leaders, I've changed my mind. The controls are not working, and they obstruct another strategy that just might work. [...] Unverified source (2026)

We are approaching a runaway to superintelligence that could threaten our shared human future. Both publicly and privately, AI companies are recognizing that a pause or slowdown in certain developmental pathways is crucial to protect lives and liveli... more AI Verified source (2026)

the mechanisms most needed for treaty verification [...] are also the least mature. AI Verified source (2026)

Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized: You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway. In other words, you want the government to sa... more Unverified source (2026)

La protección de los menores en internet y la regulación de la IA constituyen un asunto de primer orden. AI Verified source (2026)

Members of the Socialist Party, theoretically today you come to tell us that artificial intelligence must be regulated, and you associate it with the most vulnerable people. [...] Look: what you propose already exists. The Artificial Intelligence Act... more AI Unverifiable source (2024)

It's jarring when you see it in real time, this sort of bubbly persona with some of the abliterated models that's like, 'Oh, what a great idea to create this bomb.' AI Unverifiable source (2026)

These studies, on their own, are insufficient evidence to demonstrate increased marginal societal risk from open foundation models. AI Verified source (2024)

Transparency is the greatest safeguard. [...] Open code and shared development will allow millions of young minds to make AI better and safer. AI Verified source (2026)

Our Office is going to hold these companies accountable before we lose one more loved one to this tragedy. AI Unverifiable source (2026)

We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk of serious harm from the most advanced AI systems while still allowing this technology to get into the hands of the people and businesses — small and big — of ... more AI Verified source (2026)

We want to make sure that our most critical sensitive data is stored in Europe. [...] We want to be sure nobody has a kill switch. AI Verified source (2026)

From my perspective, digital sovereignty means the ability to exercise choice, control and governance across data, operational, technical and legal layers. This is not about technological isolation or excluding global partners. Europe must remain ope... more AI Verified source (2026)

While today's White House Executive Order represents a step in the right direction toward protecting America from national security risks, its purely voluntary nature lacks real teeth. [...] Powerful AI frontier models that exhibit dangerous capabili... more AI Verified source (2026)

According to the proposed rule, a covered US person will be required to provide quarterly reports to BIS if the US person “engages in, or plans, within six months, to engage in ‘applicable activities.’” “Applicable activities” include: “Conducting a... more Unverified source (2024)

The change in the EO from a 90 day to 30 day period is a game changer because it allows our AI labs to comply with the voluntary framework without delaying new model releases. AI Verified source (2026)

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. AI Verified source (2026)

The momentum is on the side of people who want to nationalize them [the major AI companies]. AI Unverifiable source (2026)

AI is reshaping public services, democratic institutions and everyday life at a pace that has outrun meaningful public input. The Data and AI Exchange was designed to show that when stakeholders are given the time and structure to deliberate seriousl... more AI Verified source (2026)

I definitely don't think we should align it to a specific philosophical theory that is not really robust for the real world, but actually getting public input for a lot of topics is very difficult because the public has not had the time to think abou... more AI Verified source (2026)

Federal laws should outline penalties specific to the severity of using deepfakes and election disinformation crimes, as the State of Minnesota has done. AI Unverifiable source (2024)

One very, very good deepfake video could make a candidate look horrible [...] Do we need to be arresting people? I don’t really know yet [...] AI Verified source (2025)

This bill doesn't meet that bar. It restricts far more speech than necessary to prevent voters from being deceived in ways that would have any effect on an election, and there are other ways to address deepfakes that would burden much less speech. AI Verified source (2025)

Last week, we saw AI misuse lead to the early retirement of one Chief Constable. Now, the police reportedly plan to use AI to usher in an era of 'predictive policing', targeting criminals before they commit crimes. This is unbelievably unwise. The us... more Unverified source (2026)

If you talk about live facial recognition or predictive policing, there will be bias. [...] There is no point releasing something to policing that has bias in it that's not recognised, and everything should be done to minimise it to a level where it ... more AI Verified source (2026)

Oh, it certainly could, yes. I think anybody who said that there's no way it'll lead to the extinction of humans just isn't facing reality. AI Verified source (2026)

AI has become the new climate change. It's this imminent catastrophe that is requiring all this government intervention. But there's very little evidence to support it. AI Verified source (2026)

For years, I've been ringing the alarm bells about the dangers of a national surveillance state built on facial recognition technology. Now, we're seeing Trump's lawless federal agents deploy this technology on our streets across the nation as he tri... more AI Verified source (2026)

Facial biometrics is the bedrock of what we're trying to do to make sure that we know who the people are that are coming into this country, and that all the vetting and security, the apparatus that we have that goes beyond it, is really compounded on... more AI Verified source (2026)

There needs to be an agency really in charge of overseeing these kinds of decisions. [...] As the power of AI continues to grow, this question of international commitment becomes pressing. AI Verified source (2026)

[This is] a significant overreach of the U.N.'s mandate and competence. We will not cede authority over AI to international bodies that may be influenced by authoritarian regimes seeking to impose their vision of controlled surveillance societies. AI Verified source (2026)
