Published by the Congressional Research Service in June 2025 and authored by Laurie Harris, this report surveys U.S. federal and state AI regulatory approaches alongside international frameworks including the EU AI Act, laying out policy options and trade-offs for Congress. It notes the shift from the Biden administration's AI executive order to its replacement under the Trump administration, prioritizing innovation over safety-first regulation.
As a nonpartisan government research brief rather than an advocacy document, the report has become a frequently cited neutral reference point for understanding the current U.S. AI policy landscape.
