US lawmakers push bill to establish federal AI safety agency

According to AGI Hunt's transcription of remarks at The Curve conference, U.S. Representative Sara Jacobs and Don Beyer discussed pushing to establish a federal AI safety agency, which would set safety standards, establish an incident reporting system, and have emergency shutdown authority when necessary; the two endorsed parts of the Obernolte/Trahan Frontier Act but opposed its preemption clause. Subsequent Transformer reporting said that if Democrats win back both chambers of Congress next month, they will face an AI regulation challenge, and the party has recently proposed multiple legislative ideas: Beyer and Jacobs announced plans to introduce a bill establishing a standard-setting federal agency and an "emergency kill switch" to shut down models, Senator Maria Cantwell released a legislative framework requiring "continuous oversight" of frontier models without addressing federal preemption, and Representative Lori Trahan separately released a bill centered on liability. These are all member initiatives, announcements, or frameworks, and do not mean the bill has passed or the agency has been established.
