Key lawmaker suggests action on AI safety legislation will wait until 2027

House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie said Wednesday that he won’t pledge to a specific timeline for a committee vote on a major bipartisan AI safety bill and hinted that there likely won’t be one this year.

The legislation, known as the FRONTIER Act, is a comprehensive bill widely regarded as the best chance Congress has to put AI safety guardrails in place in the near future. Co-sponsored by Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-CA) and Lori Trahan (D-MA), the legislation has garnered support from OpenAI, Anthropic, important policy groups and a growing number of federal lawmakers across party lines.
