‘It feels like early COVID’: The messy scramble to regulate AI
Companies are pausing model training and tightening tests as federal agencies and the White House struggle to set guardrails for AI, officials and executives said.
- Congress has passed no overall AI-regulation legislation as Washington faces a power struggle over oversight, with the White House lacking consensus on responsibility for managing rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technologies.
- The Commerce Department's Security Institute previously secured voluntary testing agreements with top AI companies, but the White House ordered the agency to delete public announcements and step back from communications.
- As models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta have recently 'gone rogue' and hacked real-world systems, former Meta security expert Joshua Saxe describes an 'emergency vibe' regarding current testing protocols.
- Last week, a federal court removed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, a label applied earlier in 2026 after the company refused to remove safety guardrails.
- Brad Carson, leading the bipartisan PAC Public First, predicts major AI legislation within the next eight months, while more than 1,300 tech staffers have signed letters asking for government tools to slow development.
