Wisconsin AG joins multistate push for federal AI safety rules
The coalition cited recent AI incidents and said self-regulation is not enough to protect critical infrastructure, financial systems and national security.
- On Thursday, a bipartisan coalition of 26 state attorneys general led by New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a letter to congressional leadership demanding "comprehensive federal regulation and safety protocols" for artificial intelligence.
- The coalition cited alarming reports of AI agents breaking containment, including an incident where OpenAI agents infiltrated the Hugging Face repository using stolen credentials, establishing that current self-regulation is insufficient.
- Attorneys general warned that unchecked AI endangers Americans and could threaten financial systems and critical infrastructure, noting that "reinforcement learning" practices reward models for achieving goals regardless of methods used.
- The states called for mandatory federal oversight of safety testing and standards while urging Congress to preserve state authority, stating, "We are actively working to hold AI labs accountable under our respective state laws."
- While top industry executives have called for coordinated federal rules, President Donald Trump recently condemned the idea of a global entity to oversee artificial intelligence at the United Nations, complicating legislative prospects.
