- Leading AI companies including OpenAI, Google Deepmind, and Anthropic warned in 2023 that mitigating extinction risks from AI should be a global priority alongside pandemics and nuclear war.
- The administration rescinded the Biden AI governance framework and proposed cutting the National Institute of Standards and Technology budget by more than 40%, despite AI-driven cyberattacks executing 80% to 90% of operations independently.

- Duke University student and OpenPolicy founder Juhyun Nam warns that policy infrastructure is 'nowhere near ready,' urging Congress to stop preempting state AI safety laws and build federal crisis frameworks.
