Senators Bennet and Welch propose the AI Regulator Act to create an independent federal agency with authority to pre-certify frontier AI models, pause risky AI releases, impose significant penalties, and regulate major tech platforms to address catastrophic AI risks and online harms.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new federal agency with power to pause AI launches and fine your firm up to 15% of global revenue. Prepare for pre-release certifications and closer oversight on AI and major tech platforms risking your market access or growth.
