The lawmakers also urged President Trump to consider pushing for a mutual pause by both countries in frontier AI development to prevent potential cyberattacks, the development of biological weapons, and other dangerous activities that could threaten humanity.\n\n\u201cAs extraordinary as the promise of some of AI\u2019s advanced capabilities are, safety incidents make clear that both national and international infrastructure is threatened by unregulated testing and release of AI models. It is incumbent upon both governments to discuss necessary guardrails and global standards for the development, testing, and use of AI in order to mitigate the risks of unfettered advancement,\u201d wrote the senators. \u201c An international race between the U.S. and China to advance these capabilities without safety guardrails, as is currently unfolding, poses unnecessary and dangerous risks to the American people.\u201d\n\n\u201cIn addition, efforts to engage with China should not stop the U.S. from constructing and implementing guardrails domestically, and Congress and U.S. companies should not wait to do so,\u201d the senators continued. \u201cThe mutual recognition between the two countries that AI poses significant risks both during development and after release should be the foundation of discussions centered on reaching concrete terms for an international safety agreement.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile advanced AI may be new, engagement between two superpowers over a technology that poses an existential threat is not,\u201d the senators wrote.\n\nYou can read the full letter HERE.\n\nAs a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, Senator Rosen has consistently pushed for responsible development of technology and has raised questions about the risks of AI. In a committee hearing last fall, she pressed a Trump Administration official about the Administration\u2019s decision to deploy Grok, an AI bot with a documented history of antisemitism. Senator Rosen raised concerns to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about surveillance pricing \u2013 the use of AI by corporations to target individuals with different prices for the same product \u2013 and called on the FTC to do more to fully understand how large retailers are using technology to hurt consumers\u2019 budgets. Senator Rosen has also introduced a bipartisan bill to prohibit the use of DeepSeek \u2013 an AI platform with ties to the Chinese Communist Party \u2013 on all government devices and networks to protect American national security.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-24T09:44:48Z", "2026-09-24T09:45:52Z"]], "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.rosen.senate.gov/2026/09/23/rosen-joins-push-calling-on-trump-to-negotiate-ai-guardrails-with-china/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1734559666365385, "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"}
