The legislation follows Senator Gallego\u2019s recent call to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), earlier this month, urging them to support the establishment of a bipartisan Select Committee on AI at the start of next Congress.\n\nThe introduction of the resolution also comes as OpenAI, this week, paused the training of its latest models after the company disclosed it was reviewing several incidents in which rogue agents searched federal government websites, and as President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson hosted major tech CEOs \u2014 including from Anthropic, Google, Meta, and OpenAI and \u2014 for a meeting at the White House yesterday.\n\n\u201cThe rapid development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence is akin to Dr. Frankenstein saying, \u2018the monster is loose. Help me stop the monster,\u2019\u201d said Senator Gallego. \u201cCongress must keep up and act. A bipartisan select committee would provide the vehicle for a focused, informed approach to governing AI that protects America\u2019s national security interests while maintaining a competitive edge in the AI race.\u201d\n\nThe committee would provide a bipartisan forum to examine the broad range of ways AI is changing the economy, government, national security, and everyday life. Its work would focus on understanding where existing federal oversight falls short and developing legislative safeguards and proposals to address emerging challenges.\n\nThe committee would hold hearings and investigations, gather information from federal agencies, issue subpoenas, and consider and report AI legislation.\n\nRead the full resolution HERE.", 1, "2026-09-30T10:57:52Z", "2026-09-30T10:59:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.gallego.senate.gov/news/press-releases/gallego-introduces-resolution-to-establish-select-committee-on-ai/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.5071119889616966, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
