Expert opinions on Law

We can put these companies on notice that they’re going to be evaluated by folks that understand the process, that understand the technology, and will be transparent and hold them accountable so that they create safe products, and they don’t send out...

It’s a very thorny area. It’s uncharted territory. There’s a good argument to be made on either side.

I just don’t think the developer is in a position to know exactly how their product is being used.

Some people worry that giving AIs separate legal personhood would let AI companies, or bad actors using AIs, shield themselves from responsibility. But it doesn’t have to work that way… when a Walmart delivery driver runs over a pedestrian, we want t...

There is a reasonable chance, however, that if the vision for AI agents comes to pass, then for our markets and legal accountability regimes to function effectively, agents will have to have the capacity to sue and be sued directly. This is the defin...

Machines are tools, not persons. Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.

Unsolicited, AI-generated robocalls to voters’ cell phones — when both robocalls and AI have a proven track record of spreading lies and can be particularly deceiving when combined — aren’t just a nuisance; they’re downright dangerous for our democra...

We Must End AI-Powered Mass Surveillance, Not Switch Vendors. [...] ALPR’s don’t need a marketing rebrand – they need to be banned.

This has effectively given police a very long leash to experiment with these technologies. And now we're in a tipping point situation where it's about to be expanded all over the country, and there's a real necessity for those legal frameworks to be ...

We ask them to work with the communities using this technology to decide what rules should govern it and not to spread misinformation or ban a critical public safety tool outright that is helping to make communities safer.

A Global Call for AI Red Lines, launched at the UN General Assembly in September 2025, calls for categorical prohibitions on what an AI system may be built or used to do and presses governments to conclude a binding international agreement.

AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down. The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it. Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the te...

The United States totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme of control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now – hereinafter officially called super intelligence.

Governments should be prohibited from using AI systems for mass surveillance. The right to privacy is a fundamental right we outline in our Declaration of Digital Rights. Data brokers and negligent data practices have allowed large amounts of persona...

The use of live facial recognition in our public spaces is an extraordinary expansion of state power that currently exists in a legal vacuum. We are not Luddites on these Benches; we recognise the utility of technology, but we must ensure that live f...

I have grave concerns that banning technology until it is legislated will choke innovation, it will drive genuine use cases away, and as technology is always developing, are we not in danger of ‘tomorrow never comes’ when it comes to legislation keep...

make provision about a requirement for consent to generate a likeness of a person using, or with the assistance of, artificial intelligence; to make further provision relating to that requirement; to make provision about civil action in circumstances...

A handful of bills introduced this year seek to categorically ban “deepfakes.” In other words, these bills would make it unlawful to create or share AI-generated content depicting someone saying or doing something that the person did not in reality s...

The United States must close the gaps in its export control regime for advanced AI chips and SME. This should be done legislatively to ensure durability across administrations. [...] Congress should incorporate these proposals into the FY2027 Nationa...

Our membership is aligned that these bills undermine the American tech stack, and as our Thursday letter demonstrates, there is widespread support for this position across the technology and broader business sectors.

Licensed hardware systems would come equipped with (or, in the case of pre-pause hardware, be retrofitted for) on-chip location attestation (e.g., latency-based location) to ensure that they remained at their registered location and visible to treaty...

Location verification—which would allow regulators to determine where AI chips are located—has emerged as a key proposal to strengthen export control enforcement efforts. [...] We recommend that location verification be required only for data center ...

Claude cannot be used to decide or recommend who to investigate, arrest, or charge in a law enforcement or criminal justice process.

Artificial intelligence, digital forensics, and geospatial intelligence are transforming how we anticipate threats and conduct investigations.

This paper specifies a written constitution for the human oversight body of an autonomous AI system: the board that holds a human override, an authority to stop or correct the system that narrows over time and is never removed. [...] Four chambers (m...

Generative AI has made it easier than ever to create convincing deepfakes and other deceptive content, and we’re already seeing these tactics used to influence America’s elections. Meta, headquartered in my district, has rolled back key safeguards ov...

I don't believe AI in ads is a problem. The issue is restating false information.

AI is driving power asymmetries between countries, governments, corporations, and individuals. Between countries, control over key parts of the AI value chain—frontier models, advanced chips and data centers—by a few companies creates dependency risk...

Thanks to copyright restrictions that criminalize modifying apps without permission, there is no legal way for either drivers or riders to build comparison-shopping dashboards that bid out the same worker or job to multiple apps and choose from the c...

Here in Washington and elsewhere, policymakers are taking steps, in the name of competition, that would force Apple to let apps onto iPhone that circumvent the App Store through a process called sideloading. That means data-hungry companies would be ...
