Pentagon CTO Emil Michael says the US will set out the laws that apply to AI labs within weeks
Speaking at a WSJ conference, the vice chair of the Super Intelligence Task Force warned against '535 legislators writing a piece of regulation that could kill the industry'.
Why it matters
Emil Michael, the Pentagon's chief technology officer and vice chair of the administration's Super Intelligence Task Force, said the government will lay out the laws and regulations that already apply to domestic AI labs, possibly within a week or two. He spoke at a Wall Street Journal conference a day after Democrats won control of Congress on voter worries about AI and data centres. He argued against new legislation from Congress. Watch whether the guidance pre-empts tougher bills.
