    Thune asserts Congress must address AI risks despite Trump's skepticism

    On his first day back from a five-week break, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that Congress has a responsibility to act on AI, citing "some potential consequential risks associated with AI." Thune's position directly contradicts Trump, who has called AI regulation a "hoax."

    “Congress has a job to do. I think there are some potential consequential risks associated with AI.”
