The Hill Republican who could get a deal on AI - if his leadership lets him
"If there is anyone in the House who can run point and cobble together the pieces on what meaningful federal AI standards and an AI package could look like, it's Jay Obernolte,"
"You need to codify the federal regulatory framework for AI and, if you don't do that ... essentially you're saying that there's no regulation,"
"And I don't blame people for being uncomfortable with that."
Jay Obernolte co-chaired a bipartisan AI task force and has cross-aisle relationships and technical expertise that supporters view as crucial for securing a year-end AI deal. Obernolte is drafting a bill that could pair federal preemption of state AI laws with a regulatory framework including research infrastructure and safety checks on advanced models. Some senior tech industry figures and Democrats worry that GOP leadership has limited Obernolte's influence and remains committed to minimal regulation. Industry lobbyists and parts of the White House back a compromise after repeated GOP attempts to block state rules failed.
