Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has firmly rejected any federal antitrust exemptions for major AI companies to coordinate on AI safety, warning that such exemptions would strengthen their market control. This stance comes amid calls from AI firms like Anthropic and OpenAI seeking legal clarity for collaboration to limit AI development.
