CNBC reported on September 28 that Rep. Ro Khanna plans to introduce an AI safety bill that would ban "recursive" technology until safeguards exist. The proposal arrives amid a wave of warnings from AI researchers about self-improving systems.
The bill is a proposal, not law, and the broader federal direction under the White House's framework favors preempting state laws rather than adding new restrictions. Its significance is as a marker of how mainstream the slowdown debate has become in Congress.
