Sen. Chris Coons says Congress does not understand AI well enough to regulate it

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said Congress does not understand artificial intelligence well enough to regulate it successfully, arguing that too many members of the Senate and House are not engaged, curious, or current on a technology that is moving faster than lawmakers. Speaking on Bloomberg This Weekend with David Gura and Christina Ruffini, Coons said the United States still needs enforceable guardrails, but that a unilateral pause in AI development is impractical while the United States and China compete for the lead.
