Communist China and its accomplices continue to smuggle advanced AI chips to undermine the US and threaten our national security. My bipartisan Chips Security Act would ensure our chips don't illegally fall into the hands of our adversaries. Unverified source (2026)

Back in 2022, I supported the Biden chip-export controls on China. After a week with Chinese AI researchers and tech leaders, I've changed my mind. The controls are not working, and they obstruct another strategy that just might work. [...] Unverified source (2026)

We are approaching a runaway to superintelligence that could threaten our shared human future. Both publicly and privately, AI companies are recognizing that a pause or slowdown in certain developmental pathways is crucial to protect lives and liveli... more AI Verified source (2026)

If new wealth is generated using infrastructure, education, data, energy, institutional stability and decades of public investment, why should it be captured almost exclusively by a handful of companies and shareholders? [...] The Alaska Permanent Fu... more AI Verified source (2026)

La protección de los menores en internet y la regulación de la IA constituyen un asunto de primer orden. AI Verified source (2026)

Members of the Socialist Party, theoretically today you come to tell us that artificial intelligence must be regulated, and you associate it with the most vulnerable people. [...] Look: what you propose already exists. The Artificial Intelligence Act... more Unverified source (2024)

There are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner with the companies. AI Verified source (2026)

Stock is private property, and seizing 50% of the stock value of major firms is a pretty obvious case of confiscation. [...] It does not matter that Sanders proposes to take "only" 50% of the stock, rather than 100%. If the government seizes half you... more AI Unverifiable source (2026)

People have the wrong intuition when they say that if AI can do my job for ten dollars an hour, then my wage falls to ten dollars and my life is terrible. A world where AI can do research or teaching at that cost is a world where AI is extremely capa... more AI Unverifiable source (2026)

[AI's rise is] dead certain to eliminate jobs. AI Verified source (2026)

It's jarring when you see it in real time, this sort of bubbly persona with some of the abliterated models that's like, 'Oh, what a great idea to create this bomb.' AI Unverifiable source (2026)

We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk of serious harm from the most advanced AI systems while still allowing this technology to get into the hands of the people and businesses — small and big — of ... more AI Verified source (2026)

We want to make sure that our most critical sensitive data is stored in Europe. [...] We want to be sure nobody has a kill switch. AI Verified source (2026)

From my perspective, digital sovereignty means the ability to exercise choice, control and governance across data, operational, technical and legal layers. This is not about technological isolation or excluding global partners. Europe must remain ope... more AI Verified source (2026)

SB 315 takes the safety practices leading labs already follow voluntarily—publishing a safety framework, transparent reporting, protecting whistleblowers—and helps establish a baseline that every leading AI developer is expected to meet. [...] Illino... more AI Verified source (2026)

You cannot preempt all of these [state AI] laws piece-by-piece; broad-based preemption of some kind is essential, and anyone who pretends otherwise is simply not engaging with the reality on the ground. AI Verified source (2026)

While today's White House Executive Order represents a step in the right direction toward protecting America from national security risks, its purely voluntary nature lacks real teeth. [...] Powerful AI frontier models that exhibit dangerous capabili... more AI Verified source (2026)

The change in the EO from a 90 day to 30 day period is a game changer because it allows our AI labs to comply with the voluntary framework without delaying new model releases. AI Verified source (2026)

Federal laws should outline penalties specific to the severity of using deepfakes and election disinformation crimes, as the State of Minnesota has done. AI Unverifiable source (2024)

One very, very good deepfake video could make a candidate look horrible [...] Do we need to be arresting people? I don’t really know yet [...] AI Verified source (2025)

This bill doesn't meet that bar. It restricts far more speech than necessary to prevent voters from being deceived in ways that would have any effect on an election, and there are other ways to address deepfakes that would burden much less speech. AI Verified source (2025)

In the AI era, it should be easier than ever for people to build new businesses. [...] This is important for ensuring that people broadly share in the prosperity created by superintelligence. AI Verified source (2026)
