Obernolte calls on fellow lawmakers to tackle sector-specific AI regulation
Briefly

Rep. Jay Obernolte, during an IT Industry Council summit, renewed his push for federal AI regulations following a sector-specific framework that prioritizes safe AI usage while fostering innovation. He referenced the National Institute of Standards and Technology's risk management framework, highlighting the contextual nature of AI risks. Obernolte warned against varying state laws that could disrupt innovation, advocating for Congress to establish a cohesive regulatory approach to ensure the responsible development of AI technologies.
If we fail to take action in Congress, we are running the risk that all the states are going to get out ahead of us... that's very destructive, not only for our ability to innovate with AI, but also ... to entrepreneurialism.
What the report makes clear is that the risks of deployment are highly contextual, so it matters very much what you're going to do with the AI when you evaluate what the risks are.
