US Senators Cantwell, Murray Push Six-Point AI Plan
Two US senators from Washington state are pushing new AI rules. Maria Cantwell unveiled a six-point AI framework on October 7.
Patty Murray held meetings on the same day. Both want stronger guardrails for artificial intelligence.
Cantwell's plan covers safety testing, data rights and jobs. It also addresses AI's energy use.
Washington is home to Microsoft and Amazon. The state's tech industry is watching the proposals closely.
The senators say federal action is overdue. States are writing their own AI laws in the gap.
Tech firms want light-touch rules. Critics say self-regulation has failed.
Congress is unlikely to pass a full AI law this year. But the framework sets the agenda for 2027.
The framework is not yet a bill. It may shape laws next year. State lawmakers are moving faster than Congress.
Business groups want a say. They fear strict rules could slow innovation. Public comments are being sought on the plan.
