AI Call to Congress
In a statement on Monday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox invited the US Congress to establish specific safety rules and oversight mechanisms in the process of developing advanced artificial intelligence models.
Mandatory Reporting and Independent Evaluation
The proposed artificial intelligence framework was requested to include mandatory reporting of safety incidents, protections for employees who raise concerns, and independent evaluations of cutting-edge models by independent organizations.
Hugging Face Incident and Risks
Drawing attention to unauthorized cyberattacks launched by AI agents against the Hugging Face platform, Governor Cox stated that such situations should compel Congress to take action.
Political Debates and Administration's Approach
Governor Cox's calls partially conflict with the views of President Donald Trump, who has argued that the US possesses adequate oversight mechanisms, while prompting differing approaches among members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
