May 2023 Senate Judiciary testimony proposes a new federal agency that 'licenses any effort above a certain scale of capabilities and can take that license away' (clm-0014). May 2025 Senate Commerce testimony calls a heavy-handed prior-approval requirement for AI 'disastrous' (clm-0016), and the March 2025 OSTP filing asks for relief from state measures in exchange for a voluntary federal partnership (clm-0001).

“I think that would be disastrous. I to give a more specific answer to your previous question, which I think touches on why it would be so bad, there are three key inputs to these AI systems.”

“Today, we’re announcing our intention to sign the EU’s Code of Practice for General Purpose AI—subject to the current version being formally approved by the AI Board during its upcoming adequacy assessment.”
“In particular, we recommend that California treat frontier model developers as compliant with state requirements when they have entered into a safety-oriented agreement with a relevant US federal agency, like CAISI, or when they’ve signed onto a parallel framework such as the EU’s AI Code of Practice (which we also signed).”
