Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and John Thune (R-SD) Collaborate on Self-Certification Legislation
Summary
Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) has announced his collaboration with Senate Antitrust Subcommittee Chair Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on legislation that would require companies to assess the impact of AI systems and self-certify the safety of certain systems. Sen. Thune discussed the legislation’s contrast to Leader Schumer’s approach to AI, stating, “I think it’ll be a bill that will be a good marker out there and be unlike some of the more heavy-handed regulatory approaches I suspect will be suggested by Sen. Schumer and others who have designs on this issue.”
