We need to act and act now to ensure that humans remain in control of this technology and that all people \u2013 not just the elite few \u2013 benefit from it.\n\n\u201cThe warnings we\u2019ve gotten after multiple concerning AI incidents need to serve as a wake-up call to establish a comprehensive approach including government action to put guardrails on our own technology, and ensure that our competitors and adversaries aren\u2019t able to develop dangerous technologies.\n\n\u201cTechnology and innovation must move forward; it\u2019s what has powered our nation\u2019s economy and kept us safe. But moving forward recklessly without sensible controls is a recipe for chaos and danger. The American people don\u2019t want this technology to advance without rules that they have a say in writing.\n\n\u201cThe Senate will reconvene this week. We should call together a Senate wide discussion on next steps and set out to pass critical bipartisan legislation that we can get done before the end of the year like the MATCH Act and BLADE Act that I\u2019ve put forward along with other legislation to protect our kids. I\u2019ve also pushed to develop a protocol to \u201cMythos-proof\u201d our critical infrastructure and financial/healthcare sectors from AI-driven attacks and vulnerabilities. These are steps we can take right now as we build out broader solutions and regulations.\n\n\u201cIt should be a focus of ours to discuss how to reassert control over AI for the American people. Control based on a set of principles, enforced by a set of rules, all built for a common purpose: to ensure the technology and innovation that moves us forward never leaves us behind. And controls to ensure our competitors and adversaries aren\u2019t able to proceed recklessly while we take sensible steps.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-15T09:50:21Z", "2026-09-15T09:52:05Z"]], "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.kim.senate.gov/press_release/senator-kim-calls-on-senate-to-reassert-control-over-ai/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 18.253170885145664, "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"}
