众议院计划于本周末休会至11月初，但一批众议院民主党人呼吁议长迈克·约翰逊推迟休会，直至议员们通过人工智能监管法案。
“理智的人可能会对国会应如何监管这项快速发展的技术存在分歧，但我们不能否认国会必须采取行动的紧迫性，”民主党议员在一份声明中说道。
约翰逊则认为，国会需要更多时间来制定合理的政策，人工智能企业也应承担相应责任。
“如果国会仓促召开紧急会议试图监管人工智能，我们将在与中国的竞争中落败，这对每个美国人都是威胁，”约翰逊周日在接受美国有线电视新闻网《国情咨文》节目采访时表示。
特朗普总统似乎也认同这一观点，他对人工智能企业高管的担忧不予理会。
“我们在人工智能领域领先中国，我们是世界上技术最先进的国家。坦率地说，我希望保持这一领先地位，因为谁在人工智能领域获胜，谁就将赢得一切，”特朗普周末在爱尔兰的高尔夫球场对记者说道。“我们可以设置护栏，可以采取这样那样的措施。但我认为有很多不应该发声的负面声音在炒作这件事。”
特朗普周日晚间表示，他并非“低估”人工智能的风险，但“利大于弊”。

白宫曾表示，政府正在制定人工智能监管框架，但目前尚不清楚具体内容。特朗普前人工智能事务专员戴维·萨克斯主张人工智能企业“自行”开展监管。“我支持你们做出负责任的决定，”萨克斯在社交媒体帖子中写道，“但别再假装你们需要获得其他人的许可。”
在特朗普计划于下周与中国国家主席习近平举行会谈之际，各界呼吁白宫出台监管措施，而此时美中两国正处于人工智能发展竞赛中。
国会山目前有多份人工智能监管立法提案，涵盖透明度要求和审计、联邦“终止开关”，以及豁免反垄断法以允许企业协调制定安全标准等内容。
佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯提出一项法案，旨在彻底禁止超级人工智能，并暂停人工智能研发，直至联邦安全规则出台。
随着国会无法采取行动，这一问题也蔓延至竞选活动中。在上周的一场筹款活动上，前总统巴拉克·奥巴马敦促民主党人在中期选举前明确相关政策主张。
“这项技术掌握在私营企业手中，发展速度极快，如果我们不加以管控，我认为可能会带来危险。如果我们能加以管控，我确实认为它将带来益处，”他在与众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯的炉边谈话中说道。
密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德周日在接受《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目采访时，对桑德斯的提案表示支持。
“我们需要采取行动，而且必须立即行动，”埃尔赛义德说道，“因此，我们也呼吁暂停所有前沿人工智能研究，直到我们能够确保这项研究的安全性。”
As AI rhetoric heats up, Congress stalls on action

Caitlin Huey-Burns is a congressional correspondent for CBS News and a fill-in anchor for the CBS News 24/7 politics show “America Decides.”
The House is slated to recess at the end of this week through early November, but a group of House Democrats is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to delay that recess until lawmakers pass AI safeguards.
“Reasonable minds may disagree about precisely how Congress should regulate this rapidly evolving technology. We cannot disagree about the imperative for Congress to act,” the Democratic lawmakers said in a statement.
Johnson argues Congress needs more time to get the policy right, and that AI companies bear responsibility.
“If Congress just races in and does some sort of emergency session to try to regulate AI, we will lose the race to China, and that is a threat to every single American” Johnson told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
President Trump appeared to share that assessment, dismissing the concerns of AI executives.
“We’re leading China in AI. We’re the most sophisticated country in the world. And frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins,” Mr. Trump told reporters at his golf course in Ireland over the weekend. “We can put guardrails, we can do this and that. But I think you have a lot of negative voices that are bringing it up that shouldn’t be bringing it up.”
Mr. Trump on Sunday night said that he’s not “downplaying” the risks of AI, but “it’s going to be more good than bad.”

The White House has said the administration is working on an AI framework, but it’s unclear what that looks like. Mr. Trump’s former AI czar, David Sacks, argued that AI companies should “go ahead” and regulate themselves. “I support your decision to be responsible, ” Sacks wrote in a social media post. “But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission.”
The calls for White House regulation come ahead of Mr. Trump’s planned meeting next week with Chinese President Xi Jinping amid the AI development race.
There are several legislative proposals on Capitol Hill to implement regulations on AI, ranging from transparency mandates and audits, to a federal “kill switch,” to a waiver of antitrust laws to allow companies to coordinate on safety standards.
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has proposed legislation for an outright ban of superintelligent AI and to pause AI development until federal safety rules are established.
And as Congress shows an inability to act, the issue is spilling over on the campaign trail. At a fundraiser last week, former President Barack Obama urged Democrats to come up with a clear message ahead of the midterms.
“This is something that is moving very fast in private hands, and if we don’t get on top of it, I think can be dangerous. If we do get on top of it, I do think it’s beneficial,” he said, during a fireside chat with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday embraced Sanders’ proposal during an appearance on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
“We need to act, and we need to act now,” El-Sayed said. “So, we’ve also been calling for a pause on any of this frontier AI research until we can assure that this is being done safely.”
